Art is nothing but the expression of our dream; the more we surrender to it the closer we get to the inner truth of things, our dream-life, the true life that scorns questions and does not see them.
German artist (1880-1916)
Like everything genuine, its inner life guarantees its truth. All works of art created by truthful minds without regard for the work’s conventional exterior remain genuine for all times.
German artist (1880-1916)

German artist (1880-1916)

German artist (1880-1916)
Religions die slowly.
German artist (1880-1916)
We are staunch and true and in rather a champagne mood.
German artist (1880-1916)
Blue is the male principle, stern and spiritual. Yellow the female principle, gentle, cheerful and sensual. Red is matter, brutal and heavy and always the colour which must be fought and vanquished by the other two.
