Quote

It is the death of present art when it returns again and again to the model. Use of the model is only an intermediate stage in artistic development. Create out of a living spirituality to overcome everything naturalistic.

Love is higher than opinion.

If this human fellowship is not achieved, all talk of development is empty.
