Quotes: Grace Glueck

Grace Glueck, The New York Times (29 June 1984)

“The studio, a room to which the artist consigns himself for life, is naturally important, not only as workplace, but as a source of inspiration. And it usually manages, one way or another, to turn up in his product.”

Grace Glueck is an art critic for The New York Times.

Leonard Bernstein

leonard Bernstein Leonard Bernstein, Vogue (December 1958)

“Any great work of art … revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world—the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air.”

Leonard Bernstein (August 25, 1918 – October 14, 1990) was an American conductor, composer, and pianist. He was the first conductor born in the United States of America to receive world-wide acclaim, and is known for both his conducting of the New York Philharmonic, including the acclaimed Young People’s Concerts series, and his multiple compositions, including West Side Story, Candide and On The Town.

Barnack, Bresson and the Golden Ratio

the golden rectangleIn mathematics, the Fibonacci numbers form a sequence that after two starting values, each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers.

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 and so on. A tiling with squares whose sides are successive Fibonacci numbers in length gives us the pattern shown.

The Golden Rectangle is defined as a rectangle that can be partioned into a square and a smaller rectangle which has the same aspect ratio of the original rectangle successively. Mathematically a ratio of about 3.2:2. The logarithmic spiral, or the “Spira Mirabilis” created by this ratio are found throughout nature, as in the contours of Nautilus shells or sunflowers.

I Don’t Wanna Grow Up

kids are crazy
Everytime I turn the camera on these guys I’m amazed at what comes out. Makes me wonder why I ever decided to grow up. Being an adult is over rated. Here’s to hoping that some of their childish ways will rub off…
