Image
We affirm depth as the only pictorial and plastic form of space.
Naum Gabo
Image
What we cannot express by the art of thinking, by the art of science or philosophy or logic, we can and should express by the poetic, visual, or some other arts.
Naum Gabo
Image
Being a creation of Man, art re-creates Man.
Naum Gabo
Image
Art is not concerned with the meditation about what is and how it came to be. That is a task for knowledge. Knowledge is born of the desire to know, Art derives from the necessity to communicate and to announce.
Naum Gabo
Image
The Force of Art lies in its immediate influence on human psychology and in its active contagiousness.
Naum Gabo
Image
Art has no need of philosophical arguments, it does not follow the signposts of philosophical systems Art like life, dictates systems to philosophy.
