Michael Ayrton - From the Collectors category:
- British Artist 1921-1975...
Certainly, the history of my life and the works of art which have especially enriched it is precisely that: the depiction or incantation of a handful of metaphors whose spendour rests upon their intonation. (Michael Ayrton)
Michael Ayrton - From the Drawing category:
The process of drawing is... the process of putting the visual intelligence into action, the very mechanics of visual thought. Unlike painting and sculpture... the artist makes clear to himself and not to the spectator what he is doing. It is a soliloquy before it becomes communication. (Michael Ayrton)
Michael Ayrton - From the Earth category:
About the fearful sphere which we inhabit, whose centre may be calculated and whose circumference is physically established, there spin metaphors whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference shows itself only through holes in the dark. (Michael Ayrton)
Michael Ayrton - From the Masters category:
- British Artist 1921-1975...
Michelangelo's contemporaries thought him the greatest artist who ever lived and called him 'divine.' His reputation as sculptor, architect, painter and draughtsman has not subsequently been surpassed, and who is to say his contemporaries were wrong? (Michael Ayrton)
Michael Ayrton - From the Vanity category:
Pride is a wound, and vanity is the scab on it. One's life picks at the scab to open the wound again and again. In men, it seldom heals and often grows septic. (Michael Ayrton)
