...features were made to resemble some perfect form in nature. His head had to be a perfect oval like the egg, his eyes were to be curved like lotus petals, his lips to have the fullness of the mango. As Buddhism spread, every new artist took his cue from such traditions, even to the extent of making exact copies of what had , gone before. But the creative spirit could not be bound: each civilization added something...
...Shaped Room. The plot is frayed from use and old age, the characters are mostly Characters, and the sound track turns on a spigot marked Brahms to cue every tender moment.

At a meeting with his Cabinet, Franco upheld the sentence...
...Guinness's achievement in The Horse's Mouth is a slick short that the Brattle has chosen to show with it called A Day in the Life of the Artist. This is an uncompromisingly snide little gibe at the bad and calculating modern artist, and, obviously, it takes its cue from The Horse's Mouth, if it has not, indeed, been directly plagiarized from it (the techniques of mockery--ironic use of background music, for example--are certainly the same...
