    Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)

    The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.
    Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)

    The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
