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

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

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

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

I wish to approach truth as closely as is possible, and therefore I abstract everything until I arrive at the fundamental quality of objects.

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.

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