#9. You can't create a movie as you think about it. And what's in the scene is not what's being seen. A shot always means something other than what it is. All are vehicles. A landscape is just a vehicle. The viewer might think different things, and I'm not going to intervene.

Bruno Dumont

Quotes About Viewer #39893

Sean Patrick Thomas

Quotes About Viewer #55082

#16. You have only 30 seconds in a TV commercial. If you grab attention in the first frame with a visual surprise, you stand a better chance of holding the viewer.

#20. Juliana behaved as if she was performing for an unknown, ever-present viewer

Gabby Bess

Quotes About Viewer #123339
#21. Here I am, the artist, the person, the black woman, and the stereotype. I'm using myself and it has nothing to do with my muses or other women. It has to do with me.

Mickalene Thomas

Quotes About Viewer #123707
#22. Sometimes when I hear commentating, it's sickening. People who never played the game, people who never played in the league have an opinion, and that's all it is. You are here to educate the watcher or the viewer. Sometimes it comes off as personal.

Kevin Garnett

Quotes About Viewer #130791
#23. Art objects are inanimate sad bits of matter hanging in the dark when no one is looking. The artist only does half the work; the viewer has to come up with the rest, and it is by empowering the viewer that the miracle of art gains its force.

Vik Muniz

Arthur Smith

Quotes About Viewer #194888
#33. An exhibition is in many ways a series of conversations. Between the artist and viewer, curator and viewer, and between the works of art themselves. It clicks when an exhibition feels like it has answered some questions, and raised even more.

Thelma Golden

Quotes About Viewer #201310
#34. The event is placed at such a distance, and contained, that these images move beyond the context in which they were made, the geographic setting, and so on, and engage the viewer in a one-to-one relationship solely through their physical presence.

Jean-Marc Bustamante

Quotes About Viewer #204957

Hans-Georg Gadamer

Quotes About Viewer #223324
#39. Painting has this ability to send the viewer [backward], but it's also this physical object in the room with you. It's always knocking you back into the present moment, which I find very pleasurable.

Joe Bradley

Quotes About Viewer #236294

Adrian Piper

Quotes About Viewer #238286

Danielle Dutton

Thomas Pynchon

Quotes About Viewer #368646
#60.
