Quote by Robert Morgan
The idea of avant-garde art is a very suspicious thing to me, the idea that poetry is new and it keeps being new the way Chevrolets every year are new.
Summary
This quote, by American poet Ezra Pound, expresses his skepticism towards the concept of avant-garde art. Pound questions the notion that poetry or any form of art can consistently be "new" in the same way as the annual release of new car models. He implies that branding something as avant-garde might be superficial and lacks the depth and authenticity often associated with true artistic innovation. Pound's statement suggests a reluctance to conform to trends and urges for a more genuine exploration of artistic expression.
