Art Nouveau Motifs

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

    “The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
    —Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)

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

    “The poetic act consists of suddenly seeing that an idea splits up into a number of equal motifs and of grouping them; they rhyme.”
    —Stéphane Mallarmé (1842–1898)
