“It is often said that the modern exhibition has ruined painting. It is an unfortunate fact that it does encourage competition, so that, to attract attention to his work, an artist is tempted to descend to sensationalism, whether it is expressed by strong colour, grotesque handling, unusual subject, or sheer size.” DoeSaidFactsArtistStrongAttentionModernSubjectsPaintingCompetitionSizeColourUnusualSheerUnfortunateRuinedTemptedGrotesqueExhibitionsSensationalism Author:Walter J.

“It is the philosophers, theologians, and evangelists who are said to be filled with pride and bigotry due to the strong convictions that they represent. On the contrary, teachings can be either taken or dismissed; whereas voting is the only thing the average person can do to force everyone to live how they would prefer. A simple vote is among the largest yet most acceptable forms of bigotry, and that is because people play the card only when they feel that in doing so it conveniences themselves.” PeopleFeelsPersonsSaidPlayFormStrongForceCan DoSimpleTakenTeachingPrideVoteFilledAveragePhilosopherConvictionDuesContraryCardsVotingBigotryAcceptableTheologianConvenienceAverage PersonEvangelists Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
