Art is the child of Nature; yes, her darling child, in whom we trace the features of the mother's face, her aspect and her attitude.

The final purpose of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people.

The public history of modern art is the story of conventional people not knowing what they are dealing with.

To speak of morals in art is to speak of legislature in sex. Art is the sex of the imagination.

But the one thing you should. not do is to suppose that when something is wrong with the arts, it is wrong with the arts ONLY.
