More quotes by Theo van Doesburg
When contemplating a work of art it is possible to perceive if it has been created according to the eye or to the spirit, in other words, if it projects three-dimensional reality or spiritual n-dimensionality.
Theo van Doesburg
While the expressive possibilities of Neoplasticism are limited to two dimensions (the plane), Elementarism realizes the possibility of plasticism in four dimensions, in the field of time-space.
Theo van Doesburg
We speak of concrete and not abstract painting because nothing is more concrete, more real than a line, a color, a surface.
Theo van Doesburg
he line has almost become a work of art in itself one can not play with it when the representation of objects perceived was all-important.
Theo van Doesburg
In place of the dream, the future will put art on a scientific and technical basis.
Theo van Doesburg
Each superfluous line, each wrongly placed line, any color placed without veneration or care, can spoil everything, that is, the spiritual.
Theo van Doesburg
The complete and definitive work of art is created beyond one's individuality... ...The universal transcends such a level. Mere spontaneity has never created a work of art which possesses a lasting cultural value. The method leading to universal form is based upon calculations of measure and number.
Theo van Doesburg
To be oneself is being neither under bond nor borrowed nor sold nor hired. To be, means to be spiritually free.
Theo van Doesburg
...every machine is the spiritualization of an organism.
Theo van Doesburg
