Art Quote by Novala Takemoto
“Let's say punk rock was described to you as 'three chords of rock music played roughly.' Would that be sufficient? If you looked up surrealism in the dictionary and it was described as a style of art that uses unrealistic depiction, would you understand? In Japan, even now, people ask me, 'What is Gothic Lolita fashion?' I tell them I don't know.”
