Famous quotes containing the words plastic and/or arts:
“The plastic virtues: purity, unity, and truth, keep nature in subjection.”
—Guillaume Apollinaire (1880–1918)
“What ails it, intrinsically, is a dearth of intellectual audacity and of aesthetic passion. Running through it, and characterizing the work of almost every man and woman producing it, there is an unescapable suggestion of the old Puritan suspicion of the fine arts as such—of the doctrine that they offer fit asylum for good citizens only when some ulterior and superior purpose is carried into them.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
