“Popular art is normally decried as vulgar by the cultivated people of its time; then it loses favor with its original audience as a new generation grows up; then it begins to merge into the softer lighting of “quaint,” and cultivated people become interested in it, and finally it begins to take on the archaic dignity of the primitive.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
“To grow wiser means to learn to know better and better the faults to which this instrument with which we feel and judge can be subject.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
