Abstract
Another drawback of these grand constructions is that it is necessary to have recourse to allegory, so cold in poetry, so obscure and unbearable in painting. Fools willingly call allegory the poetry of painters; for my part, I think that nothing so testifies to an artist's lack of genius as resorting to allegory. -Friedrich Melchior Grimm, as cited by Michael Fried in Absorption and Theatricality, Appendix A
