For the sensibility it has that arbitrariness and importance which works take on when they are no longer noticeable elements of the environment. In America kitsch is Nature. The Rocky Mountains have resembled fake art for a century.”
—Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)

“There’s a wonderful family called Stein:
There’s Gert and there’s Ep and there’s Ein.

Ep’s statues are junk,
And no-one can understand Ein.”
