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

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.

Intellect confuses intuition.

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

Art on the contrary sought this harmony in practice [of art itself]. More and more in its creations it has given inwardness to that what surrounds us in nature, until, in Neo-Plasticism, nature is no longer dominant. This achievement of balance may prepare the way for the fulfillment of man and signal the end of (what we call) art.

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

Colored planes, by their position and size as well as by their value, express only relationships, not forms.
