The unconscious in us warns us that in art we have to followoneparticular path. And if wefollow it, it isnotthe sign of anunconscious act.On the contrary, it showsthat there is in our ordinary consciousness a greater awareness of our unconsciousness.
Piet MondrianThe colored planes, as much by position and dimension as by the greater value given to color, plastically express only relationships and not forms.
Piet MondrianWhy should art continue to follow nature when every other field has left nature behind?
Piet MondrianThe only problem in art is to achieve a balance between the subjective and the objective.
Piet MondrianWhat is natural does not have to be a representation of something. I'm now working on a thing that is a reconstruction of a starry sky, and yet I'm making it without a given from nature. Someone who says he uses a theme from nature can be right, but also someone who says he uses nothing at all.
