Chinese Contemporary Art

Famous quotes containing the words contemporary and/or art:

    “Eclecticism is the degree zero of contemporary general culture: one listens to reggae, watches a western, eats McDonald’s food for lunch and local cuisine for dinner, wears Paris perfume in Tokyo and “retro” clothes in Hong Kong; knowledge is a matter for TV games. It is easy to find a public for eclectic works.”
    —Jean François Lyotard (b. 1924)

    “The art of medicine in the season lies:
    Wine given in season oft will benefit,
    Which out of season injures.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
