Modern Painters

Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or painters:

“Much of modern art is devoted to lowering the threshold of what is terrible. By getting us used to what, formerly, we could not bear to see or hear, because it was too shocking, painful, or embarrassing, art changes morals.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

“The New York action painters want their pictures to jump off the walls and chase you down the street.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
