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

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

Why should art continue to follow nature when every other field has left nature behind?

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

Art is not made for anybody and is, at the same time, for everybody.

The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel.

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.
