Description: No Artist Tolerates Reality Pithy Friedrich Nietzsche Quote Button A 1.25" pinback button with a slogan by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche: No artist tolerates reality. In 1951 Albert Camus published his book, The Rebel, which included this striking text: Art is the activity that exalts and denies simultaneously. "No artist tolerates reality," says Nietzsche. The second part of this passage became quite popular, even repeated by multiple mainstream and minor artists, especially musicians. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844 – 1900) was a German philosopher, cultural critic and philologist whose work has exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history. Nietzsche's writing spans philosophy, poetry, cultural criticism, and fiction while displaying a fondness for aphorism and irony. Prominent elements of his philosophy include his radical critique of truth in favor of perspectivism; a genealogical critique of religion and Christian morality and a related theory of master–slave morality; the affirmation of life in response to both the "death of God" and the profound crisis of nihilism; the notion of Apollonian and Dionysian forces; and a characterization of the human subject as the expression of competing wills, collectively understood as the will to power. Nietzsche's work enjoyed renewed popularity in the 1960s and his ideas have since had a profound impact on 20th and early-21st century thinkers across philosophy—especially in schools of continental philosophy such as existentialism, postmodernism and post-structuralism—as well as art, literature, poetry, politics, and popular culture.
