“Nature holds the beautiful, for the artist who has the insight to extract it. Thus, beauty lies even in humble, perhaps ugly things, and the ideal, which bypasses or improves on nature, may not be truly beautiful in the end.”
“Truly, art is embedded in nature; he who can extract it, has it.”
“Geometry is the foundation of all painting.”
