A painter, who finds no satisfaction in mere representation, however artistic, in his longing to express his inner life, cannot but envy the ease with which music, the most non-material of the arts today, achieves this end. He naturally seeks to apply the methods of music to his own art.

Colors produce a spiritual vibration, the impression they create is important only as a step towards this vibration.

Color transmits and translates emotion.
