In the potential of absurdity, hiding in the disparate combination of the various different subjects which in themselves are nothing but daily items (Schwitters collages, fh) equally in the exclusive representation of a normal item (industrial products of Duchamps, fh) taken out of their usual context , is by far the most radical – in its effect comparable to a Japanese Zen koan - paradox to be witnessed, which modern art has produced, one of the most forceful impulses that generated from it.

For women not to fear rape because we can successfully defend ourselves against it is not anachronistic but revolutionary. For women to be considered as potential warriors (in every sense of the word, including its physical representation) is not anachronistic but revolutionary. If realized, it might imply a radical change in modern life. [¶] .... What would it mean for a woman to be a warrior today? How could modern women control the means of production and reproduction?
Phyllis Chesler
Part of America's industrial problems is the aim of its corporate managers. Most American executives think they are in the business to make money, rather than products or service...The Japanese corporate credo, on the other hand, is that a company should become the world's most efficient provider of whatever product and service it offers. Once it becomes the world leader and continues to offer good products, profits follow.

Mythological subjects always new. Modern subjects difficult because of the absence of the nude and the wretchedness of modern costume.
