Famous quotes containing the words adams and/or performed:

“American society is a sort of flat, fresh-water pond which absorbs silently, without reaction, anything which is thrown into it.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

“All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.”
—Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)
