Quote by Jean Cocteau, "New York WorldTel

Art produces ugly things which frequently become more beautiful with time. Fashion, on the other hand, produces beautiful things which always become ugly with time.

Summary

This quote suggests that art and fashion have contrasting outcomes over time. Artwork tends to initially appear ugly or unappealing to some, but as time goes on, it can gain appreciation and be considered more beautiful. Conversely, fashion produces visually pleasing and attractive things initially, but as the trends change and time passes, these fashion items become less admired and lose their beauty. It highlights the enduring and evolving nature of art versus the transient nature of fashion.

Much good art got made while money ruled I like a lot of it, and hardship and poverty aren't virtues. The good news is that, since almost no one will be selling art, artists - especially emerging ones - won't have to think about turning out a consistent style or creating a brand. They'll be able to experiment as much as they want.
