The Art of Taking Away... The Sculptor and his Stone & The Art of Adding... The Painter and his Pencil
"By sculpture I mean what happens by taking away; what happens by adding something is like painting. As long as both of them are based on the same understanding, they can be at peace with one another and all dispute can be set aside, for in dispute more time is lost than in making the figures."
Michelangelo to Benedetto Varchi, 1546
