Art Is Not Vague Production, Transitory And

Each Period Of A Civilisation Creates An Art That Is Specific In It And Which We Will Never See Reborn. To Try And Revive The Principles Of Art Of Past Centuries Can Lead Only To The Production Of Stillborn Works.

The Composition Is The Organized Sum Of The Interior Functions Of Every Part Of The Work.

The Sensations Of Colors On The Palette Can Be Spiritual Experiences.

In Every Painting A Whole Is Mysteriously Enclosed, A Whole Life Of Tortures, Doubts, Of Hours Of Enthusiasm And Inspiration.

With Cold Eyes And Indifferent Mind The Spectators Regard The Work. Connoissers Admire The "skill" (as One Admires A Tightrope Walker), Enjoy The "quality Of Painting" (as One Enjoys A Pasty). But Hungry Souls Go Hungry Away. The Vulgar Herd Stroll Through The Rooms And Pronounce The Pictures "nice" Or "splendid." Those Who Could Speak Have Said Nothing, Those Who Could Hear Have Heard Nothing.
