Art Nouveau Inspired

Famous quotes containing the words art, nouveau and/or inspired:

    “Perhaps dirt is the necessary condition of beauty.... Perhaps hygiene and art can never be bedfellows. No Verdi, after all, without spitting into trumpets. No Duse without a crowd of malodorous bourgeois giving one another their coryzas. And think of the inexpugnable retreats for microbes prepared by Michelangelo in the curls of Moses’ beard!”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “The terrifying and edible beauty of Art Nouveau architecture.”
    —Salvador Dali (1904–1989)

    “The human mind is inspired enough when it comes to inventing horrors; it is when it tries to invent a Heaven that it shows itself cloddish.”
    —Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
