Nathan Goldstein quotes
-
“Perspective should be learned - and then forgotten. The residue - a sensitivity to perspective - helps perception, varying with each individual and determined by his responsive needs.”
-- Nathan Goldstein -
“The inherent lightness or darkness of a form - its local-tone - is a given quality of all forms. It is affected by, but separate from, the light and dark areas that result from light falling on forms.”
-- Nathan Goldstein -
“The local-tone is the intrinsic value of a thing - excluding any effects of light. The local-tone of a common pearl is very nearly white; that of a lump of coal, nearly black.”
-- Nathan Goldstein -
“Value, whether the result of massed lines, broad strokes, or washes, is the necessary and only tool for modelling form with light.”
-- Nathan Goldstein -
-
“Value gives the artist the means of showing subtle changes in a form's surface-state, and it helps clarify the relative distance between forms.”
-- Nathan Goldstein
