Art is not vague production, transitory and isolated, but a power which must be directed to the improvement and refinement of the human soul.
Wassily KandinskyEvery work of art is the child of its age and, in many cases, the mother of our emotions. It follows that each period of culture produces an art of its own which can never be repeated.
Wassily KandinskyThe artist must be blind to distinction between 'recognized' or 'unrecognized' conventions of form, deaf to the transitory teaching and demands of his particular age.
