‘Works of Art Make Rules,’ — Claude Debussy Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Muscle Tank

“Works of art make rules, but rules do not make works of art.” The idea runs all through Debussy’s turn-of-the-century music criticism — he reviewed under the alias “Monsieur Croche” around 1901 — though this tidy phrasing stays unpinned to any page, so take the wording as tradition and the conviction as documented. The order of operations is the point: the rulebook is reverse-engineered from the masterpieces, and the masterpiece comes first.
