Hi, I'm currently writing an essay and I was wondering if there's any particular way some of you find quotes from art critics. I've used textbooks and the internet to find quotes for most my artworks but some works, such as Cezanne's 'still life with apples and oranges' I could not find for, even a general comment on his still lifes overall.
I'm writing a practice essay about how artists break from tradition and I'm unsure how many quotes I need, do I need one for every artwork? I didn't have any in my last essay and that was a downfall sooooooooooo

Hey! The way I got quotes from art critics were from my textbook, articles online and what my teachers said.
Have you tried the following critics/historians?
- Michel Foucault
- Arthur C. Danto
- John McDonald
- Sebastian Smee
- Robert Hughes!!!
- Nicolas Bourriaud
- John Berger
- Matthew Collings
- Pierre Bourdieu
However if you still can't find a quote for Cezanne's work, you can grab a quote that comments on him as an artist overall or a quote that comments on his practice and/or intentions. Your quote from art critics/historian don't necessarily need to be unique to the work, but they have to be unique to the artist themselves.
Yes you do need an art critic/quote for every work you mention in your essay. It makes your analysis and argument stronger as you are providing the viewpoints of legitimate and respectable individuals within the art world.
Hope this helps :)

Now that the hsc timetable has been released, "Monday 3 September 2018 at 3pm is the final hand-in date and time for your body of work". So approximately how long does it take to get your works delivered so I can have an idea of when my cut-off date should be to mail them?

Hey!
I'm not 100% sure but speaking from experience, our teachers made us submit our BOW a month before its official submission. The time it takes for your BOW to get delivered really depends where it's going to be marked. I know some of the places that the HSC markers do their marking include Sydney Olympic Park and somewhere in Moore park. Though in some schools, the markers actually come to the school and mark the BOWs there. I think it will be better for you to ask your teacher when to submit your BOW as this really differs between schools :)
