This new plastic idea will ignore the particulars of appearance, that is to say, natural form and colour. On the contrary it should find its expression in the abstraction of form and colour, that is to say, in the straight line and the clearly defined primary colour.

It is a task of art to express clear vision of reality.

In art the search for a content which is collectively understandable is false; the content will always be individual.

I hate everything approaching temperamental inspiration,'sacred fire'and all those attributes of genius which serve only as cloaks for untidy minds.

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

The truly modern artist is aware of abstraction in an emotion of beauty.

The surface of things gives enjoyment, their interiority gives life.
