Rosenberg

Famous quotes containing the word rosenberg:

    Poppies whose roots are in man’s veins
    Drop, and are ever dropping;
    But mine in my ear is safe,
    Just a little white with the dust.
    —Isaac Rosenberg (1890–1918)

    The differences between revolution in art and revolution in politics are enormous.... Revolution in art lies not in the will to destroy but in the revelation of what has already been destroyed. Art kills only the dead.
    —Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)

    Today, each artist must undertake to invent himself, a lifelong act of creation that constitutes the essential content of the artist’s work. The meaning of art in our time flows from this function of self-creation. Art is the laboratory for making new men.
    —Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
