Art Has Always Been And Is In

We Are Staunch And True And In Rather A Champagne Mood.

Serious Art Has Been The Work Of Individual Artists Whose Art Has Had Nothing To Do With 'style' Because They Were Not In The Least Connected With The Style Or The Needs Of The Masses. Their Works Arose Rather In Defiance Of Their Times.

Whenever We Have Seen A Crevice In The Crust Of Convention, We Have Called Attention To It, Because We Have Hoped For A Force Underneath, Which Will Someday Come To Light.

Today We Are Searching For Things In Nature That Are Hidden Behind The Veil Of Appearance... We Look For And Paint This Inner, Spiritual Side Of Nature.

I Am Trying To Intensify My Feeling For The Organic Rhythm In All Things, Trying To Establish A Pantheistic Contact With The Tremor And Flow Of Blood In Nature, In Animals, In The Air - Trying To Make It All Into A Picture, With New Movements And With Colours That Reduce Our Old Easel Paintings To Absurdity.
