Famous quotes containing the word art:

    “Dada hurts. Dada does not jest, for the reason that it was experienced by revolutionary men and not by philistines who demand that art be a decoration for the mendacity of their own emotions.... I am firmly convinced that all art will become dadaistic in the course of time, because from Dada proceeds the perpetual urge for its renovation.”
    —Richard Huelsenbeck (1892–1974)

    “O mischief, thou art swift
    To enter in the thoughts of desperate men!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
