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

I, too, find the flower beautiful in its outward appearance. But a deeper beauty lies concealed within.

Cubism did not accept the logical consequences of its own discoveries; it was not developing abstraction towards its own goal, the expression of pure reality.

By the unification of architecture, sculpture and painting a new plastic reality will be created.

The more basic the color, the more inward, the more pure.

abstract art is not the creation of another reality but the true vision of reality.

Recognizing and uniting with the universal therefore gives us the greatest aesthetic satisfaction, the greatest emotion of beauty. The more determinately (consciously) this recognition is experienced, the more intense our happiness. The more determinately (consciously) this union with the universal is felt, the more individual subjectivity declines.
