ESPIRITO D'ARTE (E. HOPPER)

"THE OBJECT, WHICH IS BACK OF EVERY TRUE WORK OF ART, IS THE ATTAINMENT OF A STATE OF BEING, THE STATE OF HIGH FUNCTIONING, A MORE THAN ORDIRARY MOMENT OF EXISTENT. IN SUCH MOMENTS ACTIVITY IS INEVITABLE, AND WHETER THIS ACTIVITY IS WHIT BRUSH, PEN, CHISEL, OR TONGUE, IT'S RESULT IS A BUT BY-PRODUCT OF THE STATE...THE FOOOTPRINT OF THE STATE."

ROBERT HENRY, The Art Spirit (1923)
