Design and invention are the father and mother of all the arts and not of a single one alone.Giotto a natural talent but worked hard and learned to draw from Nature.Cimabue made Byzantine art less "awkward" and was Giotto's mentor.The origin of these arts was Nature herself, that the inspiration or model was the beautiful fabric of the world, and that the Master who taught us was that divine light infused in us by a special act of grace which has not only made us superior to other animals but even similar, if it is permitted to say so, to God himself.Grace and effortless-seeming is the greatest compliment anyone can pay you.Design is the basis of all good art - practice to imitate human and natural world.Vasari had titanic energy and was an accomplished artist in his own right but his most important legacy is this book - having pretty much invented art history.
