"The use of cloth as an element expressive in itself has developed within a large number of pictorial conventions, creating a kind of visionary history of fabric, traceable entirely through its poetic life in pictures and sculpture. Representative art has always dwelt on the fascinating capacity of cloth to bunch, stretch, hang, or flutter, to be smooth and unsmooth under different circumstances, to be wrought upon and then restored, and wrought upon differently another time."
– Anne Hollander, from Fabric of Vision: Dress and Drapery in Painting (London: National Gallery, 2002)

"The baroque refers not to an essence but rather to an operative function, to a trait. It endlessly produces folds. Yet the baroque trait twists and turns its folds, pushing them to infinity, fold over fold, one upon the other. The baroque unfurls all the way to infinity."
– Gilles Deleuze, from The Fold: Leibniz and the Baroque (University of Minnesota Press, 1993)
