“Nature, the sun itself, produces color effects... instantaneously. The impression of these evanescent visions is what we make desperate attempts to catch and fix by any means at hand. At such moments I am unconscious of materials, of style, of rules, of everything that intervenes between my perception and the object or idea perceived.” MeanIdeasMomentsHandsVisionSunEffectsStyleObjectsProduceColorMaterialsPerceptionImpressionDesperateUnconscious Author:Joaquin Sorolla
“I have always wanted to play different kinds of stuff, but it's hard, first to find good material, and then to change people's perception of you so they'll let you do it. I mean, I would really like to play a poet, but once they get this notion of you as a street guy, it's hard to change that.” PeopleFirstsKindMeanDifferentHardPlayWantedGuyStuffStreetsPoetMaterialsPerceptionNotionDifferent Kinds Author:Matt Dillon

“What is the possible benefit? Can this material save lives? Can it improve the quality of life in Iraq? Can it tend to shape our perceptions of how war should and should not be conducted?

“In description we hear and feel the absorption of the author in the material. We sense the presence of the creator of the scene. .. This personal absorption is what we mean by 'style.' It is strange that we would choose so oddly surfacey a word - style - for this most soulful aspect of writing. We could, perhaps more exactly, call this relation between consciousness and its subject 'integrity.' What else is the articulation of perception?” FeelsWritingMeanPoetryLiteratureConsciousnessSubjectsStyleStrangeMaterialsIntegrityScenePerceptionAspectRelationCreatorDescriptionSoulfulAbsorptionArticulation Author:Patricia Hampl
“The trouble is that the expression 'material thing' is functioning already, from the very beginning, simply as a foil for 'sense-datum'; it is not here given, and is never given, any other role to play, and apart from this consideration it would surely never have occurred to anybody to try to represent as some single kind of things the things which the ordinary man says that he 'perceives.” MenTryingKindPlayGivenRolesTroubleExpressionMaterialsPerceptionOrdinaryDataPerceiveConsiderationMaterial ThingsOrdinary ManFoils Author:J.

“[My work] is using light as a material to influence or affect the medium of perception.

“There's the instability of my attitude as an artist, the instability of our perception of the world, and the idea that with this mix, you never know exactly what's the point of view of the filmmaker. This breaks the stability of the belief that a filmmaker is somebody who has a logical relationship with his own material.

“Our senses enable us to perceive only a minute portion of the outside world. Our hearing extends to a small distance. Our sight is impeded by intervening bodies and shadows.
