Andy Warhol | Johann Wolfgang Goethe, 1982
Tra il vecchio e il nuovo,
la sorte dona
queste ore liete;
e il passato impone
d’aver fiducia
a guardare avanti
e a guardare indietro.

Citazioni di Giorgio De Chirico
.jpg)
• "Un'opera d'arte per divenire immortale deve sempre superare i limiti dell'umano senza preoccuparsi né del buon senso né della logica".
• "L'arte deve creare sensazioni sconosciute in passato; spogliare l'arte dal comune e dall'accettato... sopprimere completamente l'uomo quale guida o come mezzo per esprimere dei simboli, delle sensazioni, dei pensieri, liberare la pittura una volta per tutte dall'antropomorfismo... vedere ogni cosa, anche l'uomo, nella sua qualità di cosa.".
