Trade allegedly does not foster growth because when it begins, a flood of imports of factory origin destroys the handicraft manufacturing of the less developed country: the models for this are the effects of British exports of textiles and of iron in India and Chile in the first half of the nineteenth century.
Leo Tolstoy
Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.
Lewis Mumford
To curb the machine and limit art to handicraft is a denial of opportunity.
