Transient Elements

Famous quotes containing the words transient and/or elements:

“For the most part we allow only outlying and transient circumstances to make our occasions. They are, in fact, the cause of our distraction.”

“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)
