Propaganda and Entertainment in some circumstances have been regarded as art genres during the contemporary art period.

Famous quotes containing the word concerns:

    In what concerns you much, do not think that you have companions: know that you are alone in the world.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Life is not a matter of place, things or comfort; rather, it concerns the basic human rights of family, country, justice and human dignity.
    Imelda Marcos (b. 1929)

    Much unhappiness comes from walking alone. When there are several, it’s somewhat different. I must get into the habit of listening to others, for what the others say concerns me, too.
    Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
