The perpetual novelty of modern conditions demands an imaginative alertness we eliminate.
A painter, by the manipulation of his color and line and mass, concentrates and intensifies the harmony of it and so heightens its emotional value. The meaning of the scene for the spirit is conveyed in terms of color and mass. Color and mass are the painter's medium, his language.
