Modernity is the transitory, the fugitive, the contingent, which make up one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immutable. This transitory fugitive element, which is constantly changing, must not be despised or neglected.

  • -- Charles Baudelaire 查尔斯·波德莱尔

现代性是短暂的、瞬息万变的、偶然的,构成了艺术的一半,而另一半则是永恒的、不可改变的。这一瞬息万变、瞬息万变的因素决不能轻视或忽视。
