An Edward Hopper Scraphbook - "This scrapbook, compiled by the staff of the Smithsonian's American Art Museum, offers a glimpse into Hopper's life, his friends, and the paintings that have fascinated art lovers worldwide ever since Hopper first came to prominence during the mid 1920s." [American Museum of American Art, The Smithsonian Institute, Washington, DC]

Arnold Newman - "Photography, as we all know, is not real at all. It is an illusion of reality with which we create our own private world." [Arnold Newman] - Arnold Newman describes his private world as one born of instinct, in which a lifetime of learning, knowledge, and intuition are brought together harmoniously through a single moment of inspiration. This instinct for visual expression is a way of seeing life as an artful interlude between waste and fulfillment, and a means of harnessing the output of human emotions that drive interior engines of poetry, song, and visual pleasure . . . .

NOTE: Ambiance is "the general 'atmosphere' that an image suggests--in physical terms: light, airy, and free; or dark, enclosed, and tight; and in psychological terms: happy, brooding, mysterious, intelligible, and so on." [Collier, Graham. Form, Space & Vision, An Introduction to Drawing and Design. Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice-Hall, 1985.]

QUOTE:

"Words move, music moves
Only in time; but that which is only living
Can only die. Words, after speech, reach
Into the silence. Only by the form, the pattern,
Can words or music reach
The stillness, as a Chinese jar still
Moves perpetually in its stillness.
Not the stillness of the violin, while the note lasts,
Not that only, but the co-existence,
Or say that the end precedes the beginning,
And the end and the beginning were always there
Before the beginning, and after the end.
And all is always now."[Four Quartets, Thomas Stearns Eliot]
