Excerpt from Minor Prophecies

Mental social activities so completely that he could interpret them to themselves. The rest of modern esthetic dogma is, on the whole, mere -hocus-pocus with which the artist satisfies his natural vanity and his necessary egoism. And the reluctance of the contemporary mod ern painter to reconsider his status is due to his having accepted without question, from the seventeenth-century Dutch, the genteel habit of painting easel pictures in gold frames, which in modern society are reduced to the peregrinations of postage stamps.
