“Tardiness is next to wickedness in a society relentless in its consumption of time as both a good and a service--as tweet and Instagram, film clip and sound bite, as sporting event, investment opportunity, Tinder hookup, and interest rate--its value measured not by its texture or its substance but by the speed of its delivery, a distinction apparent to Andy Warhol when he supposedly said that any painting that takes longer than five minutes to make is a bad painting.” SaidFilmValuesNextOpportunitySoundInterestFiveMinutesEventsPaintingInvestmentRateSpeedSubstanceDistinctionBitesConsumptionWickednessFive MinutesRelentlessInstagramTextureTweetDeliveryInterest RateClipWarholSound BitesSporting EventsTinderTardiness Author:Lewis H.

“Dramatic use of color, harmonious design, the interplay of light and shadow across a variety of textures, the portrayal of the figure and other subject matter that reflects the sophistication and beauty I find in nature - all presented from a unique point of view - can only be successfully achieved with a sound command of the painter's craft... history will determine how successful I have been.” Has BeensMatterUseLightSoundViewsSuccessfulSubjectsFiguresDesignColorUniqueShadowDeterminePoint Of ViewCommandPainterCraftsVarietyDramaticBeing SuccessfulCompetenceTextureHarmoniousSubject MatterSophisticationLight And ShadowPortrayal Author:Nelson Shanks
“"Humanism" is to be human, to think, to analyze, and to probe. To respond and to be stimulated by all living things - beasts, fowl, and fishes. To respond through touch, sight, smell, and sound to all things in nature - both organic and inorganic-to colors, shapes, and textures - to not only look at a blade of grass but to really see a blade of grass. These things, to me, are what life and living are all about. I would call it "Humanism."” ThinkingHumansLooksSoundAtheismColorShapesLife And LivingAll ThingsSightHumanismFishesPositive AtheismSmellGrassBeastBladesLiving ThingsTextureBlades Of GrassFowl Author:Jacob Lawrence
“To be an artist it is not necessary to make a living from our creations. Nor is it necessary to have work hanging in fine museums or the praise of critics . . . To be an artist it is necessary to live with our eyes wide open, to breathe in the colors of mountain and sky, to know the sound of leaves rustling, the smell of snow, the texture of bark . . . To be an artist is to notice every beautiful and tragic thing, to cry freely, to collect experience and shape it into forms that others can share.” KnowsEyeBeautifulFormArtistSoundSkyShareCryCreationColorFineShapesMountainPraiseCriticsSmellWideBreatheSnowTragicMuseumsTextureBarkVery BeautifulEyes Wide Open Author:Jan Phillips
“I think we love bacon because it has all the qualities of an amazing sensory experience. When we cook it, the sizzling sound is so appetizing, the aroma is maddening, the crunch of the texture is so gratifying and the taste delivers every time.” ThinkingSoundQualityTasteCooksTextureSensoryAromaCrunchSizzlingCrunch Time Author:Alexandra Guarnaschelli
“The first thing that strikes you about Timothy Murphys verse is the palpable texture of his line - that sound of sense practised by that other American poet-farmer, Robert Frost. And just as Murphys ear is trained on the rhythms of local speech and classical epigram, his eye holds fast on the image. This is an undeluded vision, sometimes bleak, often funny, and never less than painstakingly crafted.” FirstsSometimesEyeSoundLinesVisionPoetSpeechEarsStrikesLocalsRhythmHis EyesFarmersVersesTextureFrostBleakEpigramsHold Fast Author:Michael Donaghy
“Pound had argued - and Eliot had helped him prove - that a poem could be sustained by memorable moments. Olson proved that it could be sustained by unmemorable ones, provided that the texture of the accumulated jottings avoided the sound of failed poetry.” MomentsPoetryLiteratureSoundProveMemorablePoundsAvoidedTextureEliotMemorable Moments Book:Poetry Notebook: 2006–2014 Source: Poetry Notebook: 2006–2014
