the paths of creativity (30 August 2016)





Paintings, like dreams, have a life of their own and I have always painted very much the way I dream.
- Leonor Fini
Erwin Blumenfeld, Leonor Fini, Paris, 1938

I always imagined I would have a life very different from the one that was imagined for me, but I understood from a very early time that I would have to revolt in order to make that life. Now I am convinced that in any creativity there exists this element of revolt.

To be oneself is being neither under bond nor borrowed nor sold nor hired. To be, means to be spiritually free.
- Theo Van Doesburg



The line has almost become a work of art in itself.
- Theo Van Doesburg

Theo van Doesburg, Rhythm of a Russian Dance, 1918


When contemplating a work of art it is possible to perceive if it has been created according to the eye or to the spirit, in other words, if it projects three-dimensional reality or spiritual n-dimensionality.
- Theo Van Doesburg
