Ma col significato, il concetto, il carattere che l’artista sa trarne, che libera e interpreta".

Leonardo da Vinci | Il pittore e lo scultore

Trattato della Pittura - Parte prima /33

Dice lo scultore la sua arte essere piú degna della pittura, conciossiaché quella è più eterna per temer meno l'umido, il fuoco, il caldo ed il freddo, che la pittura.

A costui si risponde che questa tal cosa non fa più dignità nello scultore, perché tal permanenza nasce dalla materia, e non dall'artefice, la qual dignità può ancora essere nella pittura, dipingendo con colori di vetro sopra i metalli, o terra cotta, e quelli in fornace far discorrere, e poi pulire con diversi strumenti, e fare una superficie piana e lustra, come ai nostri giorni si vede fare in diversi luoghi di Francia e d'Italia, e massime in Firenze nel parentado della Robbia, i quali hanno trovato modo di condurre ogni grande opera in pittura sopra terra cotta coperta di vetro.

Paul Éluard | I love you / Ti amo

I love you for all the women

I have not known

I love you for all the time

I have not lived

For the odor of the open sea and the odor of warm bread

For the snow which melts for the first flowers

For the pure animals man doesn’t frighten

I love you to love

Henry John Stock - The Kiss, 1894
