"In our time there are many artists who do something because it is new;
they see their value and their justification in this newness.
They are deceiving themselves; novelty is seldom the essential.
This has to do with one thing only; making a subject better
from its intrinsic nature."

devoted art lovers to rout."
> Ben Shahn
