The colored planes, as much by position and dimension as by the greater value given to color, plastically express only relationships and not forms.

I think you too recognize the important relationship between philosophy and art, and it is just this relationship that most painters deny. The great masters do grasp it, unconsciously; but I believe that a painter's conscious spiritual knowledge will have a much greater influence upon his art, and that it would be due only to a weakness in him, or lack of genius, should this spiritual knowledge be harmful to his art.

The relation of color and the relation of proportion are both based on the relation of position.

To approach the spiritual in art, one will make as little use as possible of reality, because reality is opposed to the spiritual.

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.

The only problem in art is to achieve a balance between the subjective and the objective.

I don't want pictures, I want to find things out.
