the artist

"The artist should be blind to 'accepted' or 'unaccepted' form, deaf to the precepts and demands of his time.
His eyes should be always directed toward his own inner life, and his ears turned to the voice of internal necessity.
Then he will size upon all permitted means, and just as easily upon all forbidden means.
This is the only way of giving expression to mystical necessity.
All means are moral if they are internally necessary.
All means are sinful if they did not spring from the source of internal necessity." - Kandinsky
