"One of the characteristics of modern art is that it is uncompromising. In
this it resembles modern politics, and perhaps it would appear on study,
including a study of the rights of man and of women's hats and dresses,
that everything modern, or possibly merely new, is, in the nature of
things, uncompromising. It is espcially uncompromising in respect to
precinct. One of the De Goncourts said that nothing in the world hears as
many silly things said as a picture in a museum; and in thinking about that
remark one has to bear in mind that in the days of the De Goncourts there
was no such thing as a museum of modern art. A really modern definition of
modern art, instead of making concessions, fixes limits which grow smaller
and smaller as time passes and more often than not come to include one man
alone, just as if there should be scrawled across the facade of the
building in which we now are, the words Cezanne delineavit. Another
characteristic of modern art is that it is plausible. It has a reason for
everything. Even the lack of a reason becomes a reason. Picasso expresses
surprise that people should ask what a picture means and says that pictures
are not intended to have meanings. This explains everything. Still another
characteristic of modern art is that it is bigoted. Every painter who can
be defined as a modern painter becomes, by virtue of that definition, a
freeman of the world of art and hence the equal of any other modern
painter"
"The paramount relation between poetry and painting today, between modern man and modern art is simply this: that in an age in which disbelief is so profoundly prevalent or, if not disbelief, indifference to questions of belief, poetry
and painting, and the arts in general, are, in their measure, a
compensation for what has been lost. Men feel that the imagination is the
next greatest power to faith: the reigning prince. Consequently their
interest in the imagination and its work is to be regarded not as a phase
of humanism but as a vital self-assertion in a world in which nothing but
the self remains, if that remains. "
- Wallace Stevens
