“Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him.

“Die Kunst ist ewig, ihre Formen wandeln sich. (The art is eternal, their shapes are changing.)”
