What is fair in men, passes away, but not so in art.

Art is the highest task and the proper metaphysical activity of this life.

Art is the great stimulus to life.

Art is the proper task of life.

The object of art like every other product creates a public which is sensitive to art and enjoys beauty.

Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.
