Saint Augustine

Experience, Mind, Thoughts

Good, Art, Hungry

Neil Young

Music, Today, Trying

Let's face it - think of Africa, and the first images that come to mind are of war, poverty, famine and flies. How many of us really know anything at all about the truly great ancient African civilizations, which in their day, were just as splendid and glorious as any on the face of the earth?
Henry Louis Gates

Great, War, Mind

Daniel J. Boorstin

Love, America, Nation

Hermann Hesse

Life, Live, Reality

These people live again in print as intensely as when their images were captured on old dry plates of sixty years ago... I am walking in their alleys, standing in their rooms and sheds and workshops, looking in and out of their windows. Any they in turn seem to be aware of me.
Ansel Adams

Live, Old, Again

After 1909, Monet drastically enlarged his brushstrokes, disintegrated his images, and broke through the taming constraints and delicacy of Impressionism for good.

Jerry Saltz

Good, Through, After

Pictures artists staged their own images or copied or cut out others already in existence.

This created a crucial perceptual glitch that irony and understanding filled.
Jerry Saltz

Others, Sometimes, Idea
