Art is subject to arbitrary fashion.

Art is subject to arbitrary fashion.

Summary

This quote suggests that the popularity and value of art can be dictated by ever-changing trends and personal tastes, rather than solely relying on objective quality or artistic merit. It implies that what may be considered fashionable or "in vogue" at any given time can determine the perceived worthiness or desirability of artworks, leaving artists and their creations vulnerable to the whims of popular opinion. Therefore, the quote implies that the assessment and appreciation of art can often be swayed by arbitrary factors, making its reception and recognition a subjective and fluid process.

The woman who rejects the stereotype of feminine weakness and dependence can no longer find much comfort in the clich? that all men are beasts. She has no choice except to believe, on the contrary, that men are human beings, and she finds it hard to forgive them when they act like animals.
