ONE INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT
“In past times when one lived in contact with nature, abstraction was easy; it was done unconsciously. Now in our denaturalized age abstraction becomes an effort… To approach the spiritual in art, one will make as little use as possible of reality, because reality is opposed to the spiritual. Thus we find ourselves in the presence of an abstract art. Art should be above reality, otherwise it would have no value for man.”
— JPiet Mondrian (Plastic Art and Pure Plastic Art, 1937, Wittenborn & Co.)
