Famous quotes containing the words aesthetic and/or elements:
“For it is only as an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and the world are eternally justified.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“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)
