Adolf Loos 1870-1933

The work of art is brought into the world without there being a need for it. The house satisfies a requirement. The work of art is responsible to none; the house is responsible to everyone. The work of art wants to draw people out of their state of comfort.

and we don’t need to find out, either;
what we seek is to understand the reason why art exists…
