All painting - the painting of the past as well as of the present - shows us that its essential plastic means were only line and color.

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

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.

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

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

Vertical and horizontal lines are the expression of two opposing forces; they exist everywhere and dominate everything; their reciprocal action constitutes 'life'. I recognized that the equilibrium of any particular aspect of nature rests on the equivalence of its opposites.
