Famous quotes containing the words literature and/or art:

    “Poe gives the sense for the first time in America, that literature is serious, not a matter of courtesy but of truth.”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    “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)
