Ralph Kinney Bennett - From the Universe category:
Vermeer's paintings have a capacity almost to paralyze with their texture and depth. It seems as if his brush strokes have passed through the very air of these rooms of three centuries past. Such light. Such color. Such a universe. However large it may be, the universe comes down finally to each of us, our dreams, anxieties, excitements. It is this familiar universe of individual lives, of moments frozen in time, that Vermeer captured and in so doing capture us. (Ralph Kinney Bennett)
