Those [things] that we encounter for the first time immediately have a spiritual effect upon us. A child, for whom every object is new, experiences the world in this way: it sees light, is attracted by it, wants to grasp it, burns its finger in the process, and thus learns fear and respect for the flame.

The arts are encroaching one upon another, and from a proper use of this encroachment will rise the art that is truly monumental.

Generally speaking, color directly influences the soul.

To create a work of art is to create the world.

Every artist, as child of his age, is impelled to express the spirit of his age.

There is no must in art because art is free.

The true work of art is born from the 'artist': a mysterious, enigmatic, and mystical creation. It detaches itself from him, it acquires an autonomous life, becomes a personality, an independent subject, animated with a spiritual breath, the living subject of a real existence of being.
