Art is nothing but humanized science. Philosophers and aestheticians may offer elegant and profound definitions of art and beauty, but for the painter they are all summed up in the phrase: To create a harmony. Gino Severini

A painted landscape is not nature anyway. Art is a creation. The subject itself is of no account; what matters is the way it is presented. Raoul Dufy

Ad Bonum Operis: Andr Derain and

the Appropriation of Formalization Systems for the Good of the Work Made

La couleur est la matrialisation de la lumire. C'est donc une matrialisation de l'esprit. La couleur fixe la lumire. O il y a lumire il y a esprit. Andr Derain [Color is materialization of light. It is consequently a materialization of spirit. Color fixes light. Where there is light, there is spirit.]
