Interested in cultural criticism, absolute negation, discomfort and uneasiness.Martin: El comercio, ¿ve usted, señor?... ¡es el rey del mundo! Desgenais: Estoy de acuerdo con usted, señor Martin; pero el rey no es suficiente; se necesitan súbditos. ¡Pues bueno! La pintura, la escultura, la música… (Thèodore Barriére)"Del mismo modo que el caballo se apartaba al sospechar un ataque, colocándose en posición de arremeter tanto por la derecha como por la izquierda, siglos más tarde, el inofensivo burgués ordena sus objetos artísticos de modo que cada uno, aunque tenga que ser extrayéndolo del conjunto, está rodeado de una muralla y un foso" (Behne)"¿No es útil que de cuando en cuando el poeta, el filósofo, agarren un poco a la Felicidad por los pelos, y le digan, restregándole la cara por la sangre y la basura: 'Ve tu obra y bebe tu obra'?"
