“This grandiose tragedy that we call modern art.”
“Art cannot be modern. Art is primordially eternal.”
“Modern art has to be what is called ‘intense.’ it is not easy to define being intense; but, roughly speaking, it means saying only one thing at a time, and saying it wrong.”
“Thank you for the tragedy. I need it for my art.”
“It may be that what we call modern is nothing, but what is not worthy of remaining to become old.”
“Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers... What we call art is a game.”
