Isolated Elements

Famous quotes containing the words isolated and/or elements:

“Without the meditative background that is criticism, works become isolated gestures, ahistorical accidents, soon forgotten.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)

“Kitsch is the daily art of our time, as the vase or the hymn was for earlier generations. 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)
