Picasso turns himself into a conjurer, a juggler, a parodist, out of opposition to the romantic with his ‘inner voice’, his ‘take it or leave it’, his self-esteem and self-worship. And he disavows not only romanticism, but even the Renaissance, which, with its concept of genius and its idea of the unity of work and style, anticipates romanticism to some extent. He represents a complete break with individualism and subjectivism, the absolute denial of art as the expression of an unmistakable personality. His works are notes and commentaries on reality; they make no claim to be regarded as a picture of a world and a totality, as a synthesis and epitome of existence. Picasso compromises the artistic means of expression by his indiscriminate use of the different artistic styles just as thoroughly and wilfully as do the surrealists by their renunciation of traditional forms.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Arnold Hauser" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/arnold-hauser/picasso-s-eclecticism-signifies-the-deliberate-destruction-of-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/12d/arnold-hauser-110125_art_picasso-s-eclecticism-signifies-the-deli_1016155.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/12d/arnold-hauser-110125_art_picasso-s-eclecticism-signifies-the-deli_1016155.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/12d/arnold-hauser-110125_art_picasso-s-eclecticism-signifies-the-deli_1016155.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Picasso’s eclecticism signifies the deliberate destruction of the unity of the personality; his imitations…” — Arnold Hauser", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“The most striking phenomenon connected with the progress of technology is the development of cultural centres into large cities in the modern sense; these form the soil in which the new art is rooted. Impressionism is an urban art, and not only because it discovers the landscape quality of the city and brings painting back from the country into the town, but because it sees the world through the eyes of the townsman and reacts to external impressions with the overstrained nerves of modern technical man. It is an urban style, because it describes the changeability, the nervous rhythm, the sudden, sharp but always ephemeral impressions of city life. And precisely as such, it implies an enormous expansion of sensual perception, a new sharpening of sensibility, a new irritability, and, with the Gothic and romanticism, it signifies one of the most important turning points in the history of Western art. In the dialectical process represented by the history of painting, the alternation of the static and the dynamic, of design and colour, abstract order and organic life, impressionism forms the climax of the development in which recognition is given to the dynamic and organic elements of experience and which completely dissolves the static world-view of the Middle Ages. A continuous line can be traced from the Gothic to impressionism comparable to the line leading from late medieval economy to high capitalism, and modern man, who regards his whole existence as a struggle and a competition, who translates all being into motion and change, for whom experience of the world increasingly becomes experience of time, is the product of this bilateral, but fundamentally uniform development.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Arnold Hauser" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/arnold-hauser/the-most-striking-phenomenon-connected-with-the-progress-of/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/597/arnold-hauser-110125_art_the-most-striking-phenomenon-connected-w_2200419.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/597/arnold-hauser-110125_art_the-most-striking-phenomenon-connected-w_2200419.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/597/arnold-hauser-110125_art_the-most-striking-phenomenon-connected-w_2200419.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The most striking phenomenon connected with the progress of technology is the development of cultural…” — Arnold Hauser", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/arnold-hauser/#person", "name": "Arnold Hauser", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/arnold-hauser/" }, { "@type": "ProfilePage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/arnold-hauser/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/arnold-hauser/", "name": "Arnold Hauser", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/arnold-hauser/#person" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/12d/arnold-hauser-110125_art_picasso-s-eclecticism-signifies-the-deli_1016155.jpg" }, "description": "Arnold Hauser has 2 quotes on SMS4Smile.
