“It is very important for the artist to gauge his position aright, to realize that he has a duty to his art and to himself, that he is not king of the castle but rather a servant of a nobler purpose. He must search deeply into his own soul, develop and tend it, so that his art has something to clothe, and does not remain a glove without a hand.
The Artist Must Have Something to Say, for Mastery over Form Is Not His Goal but rather the Adapting of Form to Its Inner Meaning.”

Concerning the Spiritual in Art
