  • Catalogue Essay

    All Art

    All real art is or was modern in its time
    daring and new,
    demonstrating a constant change in seeing and feeling.

    If revival had been a perpetual virtue,
    we would still live in caves and earth pits.

    In art, tradition is to create,
    not to revive.

    Joseph Albers
