In place of the dream, the future will put art on a scientific and technical basis.
Theo van DoesburgFor - to say a few words on technique - whereas the curved line was used predominantly for reasons of beauty, (Phidias, Michelangelo, Raphael, Rubens) it has been used more and more economically for reasons of truth (Millet, Monet, Paul Cรฉzanne) until it will end as the straight line for reasons of Love. This will enable the art of the future to create an international form; a form understandable to all and vital enough to the expression of a general feeling of love in a monumental way. Such is the future.
Theo van DoesburgTo be oneself is being neither under bond nor borrowed nor sold nor hired. To be, means to be spiritually free.
Theo van DoesburgWe speak of concrete and not abstract painting because nothing is more concrete, more real than a line, a color, a surface.
