“Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.”
“After all, what more does a true genius want? The mind itself is the palace where all the real treasures, the works of art, the indulgences exist.”
“Where does contagion end and art begin?”
“The heaviest impact of the work of art is in the guts. Art does not reason. It manhandles you and changes you...”
“The definition of Christian art is to be found in its subject and its spirit. Everything, sacred and profane, belongs to it. God does not ask for “religious” art or “Catholic” art. The art he wants for himself is Art, with all its teeth.”
“One might say that where Religion becomes artificial, it is reserved for Art to save the spirit of religion.”
