The Modern Artist, By Nature And Destiny,

Intellect Begins With The Observation Of Nature, Proceeds To Memorize And Classify The Facts Thus Observed, And By Logical Deduction Builds Up That Edifice Of Knowledge Properly Called Science… But Admittedly We Also Know By Feeling, And We Can Combine The Two Faculties, And Present Knowledge In The Guise Of Art.

It Was Play Rather Than Work Which Enabled Man To Evolve His Higher Faculties - Everything We Mean By The Word 'culture'.

In General, Modern Art... Has Been Inspired By A Natural Desire To Chart The Uncharted.

This Is The Essential Distinction--even Opposition--between The Painting And The Film: The Painting Is Composed Subjectively, Thefilm Objectively. However Highly We Rate The Function Of The Scenario Writer--in Actual Practice It Is Rated Very Low--we Must Recognize That The Film Is Not Transposed Directly And Freely From The Mind By Means Of A Docile Medium Like Paint, But Must Be Cut Piece-meal Out Of The Lumbering Material Of The Actual Visible World.

Creeds And Castes, And All Forms Of Intellectual And Emotional Grouping, Belong To The Past.
