A work of art is finished, from the point of view of the artist, when feeling and perception have resulted in a spiritual synthesis.

It is not the form that dictates the color, but the color that brings out the form.

We are connected with our own age if we recognize ourselves in relation to outside events; and we have grasped its spirit when we influence the future.

A thing in itself never expresses anything. It is the relation between things that gives meaning to them and that formulates a thought. A thought functions only as a fragmentary part in the formulation of an idea.

To sense the invisible and to be able to create it, that is art.

Every art expression is rooted fundamentally in the personality and temperament of the artist.

The art of pictorial creation is so complicated - it is so astronomical in its possibilities of relation and combination that it would take an act of super-human concentration to explain the final realization.
