Mark Field: Boy Mulcaster
Quotes
-
Boy Markaster : What do you want to be an artist for? I mean, what's the point of it? Why don't you just buy a bloody camera and take a bloody photograph and stop giving yourself airs? That's what I want to know.
Charles Ryder : I don't give myself airs.
Boy Markaster : Uh, yes, you do. And anyway you haven't answered my question. Come on! Answer! Answer! Answer!
Charles Ryder : Because, a camera is a mechanical device which records a moment in time, but not what that moment means or the emotions that it evokes. Whereas, a painting, however imperfect it may be, is an expression of... feeling. An expression of love. Not just a copy of something.

Sebastian Flyte : Charles is reading history, but he wants to be an artist.
Anthony Blanche : No!
Sebastian Flyte : Why ever not?
Anthony Blanche : Either you are an artist, or you are not.
Boy Markaster : Hear, hear.
Charles Ryder : Then I am.
