Text Quotes
Intellect confuses intuition  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) Just as pure abstract art is not dogmatic, neither is it decorative  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) It is a task of art to express clear vision of reality  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) Dance, theatre, etc. as art, will disappear along with the dominating ‘expression’ of tragedy and harmony: the movement of life itself will become harmonious.  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) The position of the artist if humble. He is essentially a channel  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) Masculine and feminine, vertical and horizontal  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) The only problem in art is to achieve a balance between subjective and objective  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) Vertical and horizontal lines are the expression of two opposing forces; they exist everywhere and dominate everything; their reciprocal action constitutes ‘life’. I recognized that the equilibrium of any particular aspect of nature rests on the equivalence of its opposites  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) The purer the artist’s ‘mirror’ is, the more true reality reflects in it. Overseeing the historical culture of art, we must conclude that the mirror only slowly is purified. Time producing this purifying shows a gradual, more constant and objective image of reality  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) Abstract art is not the creation of another reality but the true vision of reality  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) Let us note that art - even on an abstract level - has never been confined to ‘idea’ art has always been the ‘realized’ expression of equilibrium  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) The positive and negative states of being bring about action. They cause the loss of balance and of happiness. They cause the eternal revolutions - the changes that follow one upon the other. They explain why happiness cannot be achieved in time  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) If the universal is the essential, then it is the basis of all life and art. Recognizing and uniting with the universal therefore gives us the greatest aesthetic satisfaction, the greatest emotion of beauty.  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) If the paying public demands naturalistic art, then an artist can use his skills to produce such pictures - but these are to be clearly distinguished from the artist’s own art.  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) The subjectivization of the universal in art brings the universal downward on one hand, while on the other it helps raise the individual toward the universal.  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) One can rightly speak of an evolution in plastic art. It is of the greatest importance to note this fact, for it reveals the true way of art - the only path along which we can advance.  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) The clarification of equilibrium through plastic art is of great importance for humanity. It reveals that although human life in time is doomed to disequilibrium, notwithstanding this, it is based on equilibrium. It demonstrates that equilibrium can become more and more living in us.  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) Experience was my only teacher; I knew little of the modern art movement. When I first saw the works of the Impressionists, van Gogh, van Dongen, and Fauves, I admired it. But I had to seek the true way alone.  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) It has become progressively clearer that the plastic expression of true reality is attained through dynamic movement in equilibrium. Plastic art affirms that equilibrium can only be established through the balance of unequal but equivalent oppositions.  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) Things are beautiful or ugly only in time and space. The new man’s vision being liberated from these two factors, all is unified in one unique beauty.  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) All painting - the painting of the past as well as of the present - shows us that its essential plastic means were only line and color.  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) As tradition, the female element clings to the old art and opposes anything new - precisely because each new art moves further away from the natural appearance of things.  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) Non-figurative art is created by establishing a dynamic rhythm of determinate mutual relations which excludes the formation of any particular form.  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) The desire for freedom and equilibrium (harmony) is inherent in man (due to the universal in him)  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) The surface of things gives enjoyment, their interiority gives life  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) Why should art continue to follow nature when every other field has left nature behind?  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) By the unification of architecture, sculpture and painting a new plastic reality will be created  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) The more basic the color, the more inward, the more pure  (Piet Mondrian Quotes) The truly modern artist is aware of abstraction in an emotion of beauty  (Piet Mondrian Quotes)
