Being Inexhaustible, Life And Nature

The Plastic Artist May Or May Not Be Concerned With Presenting A Superficial Appearance Of Reality, But He Is Always Concerned With The Presentation - If Not The Representation - Of The Plastic Values Of Reality.

A Work Of Art Is Finished, From The Point Of View Of The Artist, When Feeling And Perception Have Resulted In A Spiritual Synthesis.

The Impressionistic Method Leads Into A Complete Splitting And Dissolution Of All Areas Involved In The Composition, And Color Is Used To Create An Overall Effect Of Light. The Color Is, Through Such A Shading Down From The Highest Light In The Deepest Shadows, Sacrified An Degraded To A (black-and-white) Function. This Leads To The Destructions Of The Color As Color.

It Makes No Difference Whether A Work Is Naturalistic Or Abstract; Every Visual Expression Follows The Same Fundamental Laws

A Work Of Art Is A World In Itself Reflecting Senses And Emotions Of The Artist's World. Just As A Flower, By Virtue Of Its Existence As A Complete Organism Is Both Ornamental And Self-sufficient As To Color, Form, And Texture, So Art, Because Of Its Singular Existence Is More Than Mere Ornament.
