Art Quote by Wyndham Lewis
“Revolutionary politics, revolutionary art, and oh, therevolutionary mind, is the dullest thing on earth. When we open a revolutionary review, or read arevolutionary speech, we yawn our heads off. It is true,there is nothing else. Everything is correctly, monotonously, dishearteninglyrevolutionary. What a stupid word! What a stale fuss!”
