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

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.

Art lifts man from his personal life into the universal life.

Even luxuries are arranged according to ideas and ideals, to make them reflect as much of thought-life as possible - and this is Art.

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time.

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