Every Work Of Art Is

Every Artist, As Child Of His Age, Is Impelled To Express The Spirit Of His Age.

Of All The Arts, Abstract Painting Is The Most Difficult. It Demands That You Know How To Draw Well, That You Have A Heightened Sensitivity For Composition And For Colors, And That You Be A True Poet. This Last Is Essential.

The World Is Full Of Resonances. It Constitutes A Cosmos Of Things Exerting A Spiritual Action. The Dead Matter Is A Living Spirit.

Those [things] That We Encounter For The First Time Immediately Have A Spiritual Effect Upon Us. A Child, For Whom Every Object Is New, Experiences The World In This Way: It Sees Light, Is Attracted By It, Wants To Grasp It, Burns Its Finger In The Process, And Thus Learns Fear And Respect For The Flame.

The True Work Of Art Is Born From The 'artist': A Mysterious, Enigmatic, And Mystical Creation. It Detaches Itself From Him, It Acquires An Autonomous Life, Becomes A Personality, An Independent Subject, Animated With A Spiritual Breath, The Living Subject Of A Real Existence Of Being.
