La figura del conocedor de arte




Quotes by Berenson.

“All of the arts, poetry, music, ritual, the visible arts, the theater, must singly and together create the most comprehensive art of all, a humanized society, and its masterpiece, free man”

“I am only a picture-taster, the way others are wine-or tea-tasters.”


 “You know, this house has a peculiar effect on people.  It makes them behave as though they were in church.” 


“Between truth and the search for it, I choose the second."


"From childhood on I have had the dream of life lived as a sacrament. . . . The dream implied taking life ritually as something holy.”
 
“I wish I could stand on a busy street corner, hat in hand, and beg people to throw me all their wasted hours.”


“A complete life may be one ending in so full an identification with the oneself that there is no self left to die.”
