Henry Moore Zitate

Since the Gothic, European sculpture has become overgrown with moss, weeds - all sorts of surface excrescences which completely concealed shape. It has been Brancusi's special mission to get rid of this overgrowth and to make us once more shape-conscious.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Seit der Gotik ist die europäische Skulptur mit Moos, Unkraut überwachsen - allerlei Oberflächenexcrescenzen, die ihre Form vollständig verdecken. Es war die besondere Mission von Brancusi, dieses Überwachsen zu beseitigen und uns noch einmal formbewusster zu machen.

I guess The Grudge made over $100 million, but none of them had long legs after they came out but they all opened up and found an audience. If you could make those movies for a price, which is what I want to do with Spawn, then you could have some success.
