What better way to prove that you understand a subject than to make money out of it?

Kitsch is the daily art of our time, as the vase or the hymn was for earlier generations. For the sensibility it has that arbitrariness and importance which works take on when they are no longer noticeable elements of the environment. In America kitsch is Nature. The Rocky Mountains have resembled fake art for a century.

American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.

No degree of dullness can safeguard a work against the determination of critics to find it fascinating.
