“The history of art is the history of revivals.” — Samuel Butler Quote

The history of art is the history of revivals.

For truth is precious and divine, too rich a pearl for carnal swine.

If I die prematurely I shall be saved from being bored to death at my own success.

God cannot alter the past, though historians can.

A virtue to be serviceable must, like gold, be alloyed with some commoner, but more durable alloy.

Cinemascope has become synonymous with 'epic,' and absolutely if you're shooting armies and certain kinds of vast landscapes, you do want that panoramic canvas to work on. But if you look at art history there's not a whole lot of epic paintings that are in that aspect ratio.

Sculpture is the art of the intelligence.

A great artist is always before his time or behind it.

Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.

It's a very tricky job we have as DPs, where you are expected to make something that really is an emotional art but also needs to be technically spot on. You're often given a very small window of time to achieve it. People sometimes expect it to be even quicker and forget that there's a schedule for a reason.
