Our Entire Being Is Nourished By Color.

The Difference Between The Arts Arises Because Of The Difference In The Nature Of The Mediums Of Expression And The Emphasis Induced By The Nature Of Each Medium. Each Means Of Expression Has Its Own Order Of Being, Its Own Units.

In Nature, Light Creates The Color. In The Picture, Color Creates The Light.

The Product Of Movement And Counter-movement Is Tension. When Tension Working Strength Is Expressed, It Endows The Work Of Art With The Living Effect Of Coordinated, Though Opposing, Forces.

Space Expands Or Contracts In The Tensions And Functions Through Which It Exists. Space Is Not A Static, Inert Thing. Space Is Alive; Space Is Dynamic; Space Is Imbued With Movement Expressed By Forces And Counterforces; Space Vibrates And Resounds With Color, Light And Form In The Rhythm Of Life.

Depth, In A Pictorial, Plastic Sense, Is Not Created By The Arrangement Of Objects One After Another Toward A Vanishing Point, In The Sense Of The Renaissance Perspective, But On The Contrary (and In Absolute Denial Of This Doctrine) By The Creation Of Forces In The Sense Of Push And Pull . Nor Is Depth Created By Tonal Gradation (another Doctrine Of The Academician Which, At Its Culmination, Degraded The Use Of Color To A Mere Function Of Expressing Dark And Light).
