Adolf Loos Quotes

Be truthful, nature only sides with truth Picture Quote #1

Supply and demand regulate architectural form Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Does it follow that the house has nothing in common with art and is architecture not to be included in the arts? Only a very small part of architecture belongs to art: The tomb and the monument. Everything else that fulfils a function is to be excluded from the domain of art Picture Quote #1

I have emerged victorious from my thirty years of struggle. I have freed mankind from superfluous ornament Picture Quote #1

The Potemkin city of which I wish to speak here is none other than our dear Vienna herself Picture Quote #1

Be not afraid of being called un-fashionable Picture Quote #1

It does not do to use it with forms whose origin is intimately bound up with a specific material simply because no technical difficulties stand in the way Picture Quote #1

Be truthful. Nature only sides with truth Picture Quote #1

The room has to be comfortable; the house has to look habitable Picture Quote #1

All art is erotic. The first ornament to have been invented, the cross, was of erotic origin. It was the first work of art. A horizontal stroke: the woman lying down. A vertical stroke: the male who penetrates her Picture Quote #1

Tattooed men who are not behind bars are either latent criminals or degenerate aristocrats. If someone who is tattooed dies in freedom, then he does so a few years before he would have committed murder Picture Quote #1

The work of art shows people new directions and thinks of the future. The house thinks of the present Picture Quote #1

The house has to serve comfort. The work of art is revolutionary; the house is conservative Picture Quote #1

The house has to please everyone, contrary to the work of art which does not. The work is a private matter for the artist. The house is not Picture Quote #1

Man loves everything that satisfies his comfort. He hates everything that wants to draw him out of his acquired and secured position and that disturbs him. Thus he loves the house and hates art Picture Quote #1

Changes in the traditional way of building are only permitted if they are an improvement. Otherwise stay with what is traditional, for truth, even if it be hundreds of years old has a stronger inner bond with us than the lie that walks by our side Picture Quote #1
