Meyer Schapiro quotes
-
“Style is, above all, a system of forms with a quality and a meaningful expression through which the personality of the artist andthe broad outlook of a group are visible,... communicating and fixing certain values of religious, social, and moral life through the emotional suggestiveness of forms. It is, besides, a common ground against which innovations and individuality of particular works may be measured.”
-- Meyer Schapiro -
“The movement of abstract art... bears within itself at almost every point the mark of the changing material and psychological conditions surrounding modern culture.”
-- Meyer Schapiro -
“Nature and abstract forms are both materials for art, and the choice of one or the other flows from historically changing interests.”
-- Meyer Schapiro
