One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is the intermixing of different genres.

Propylaea (1798)

The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths.

Propylaea (1798)
