To speak of these things and to try to understand their nature and, having understood it, to try slowly and humbly and constantly to express, to press out again, from the gross earth or what it brings forth, from sound and shape and colour which are the prison gates of our soul, an image of the beauty we have come to understand-that is art.
Gauza hauetaz hitz egitea eta beren izatasuna ulertzen saiatzea, eta ulertuta gero, astiro, apalki eta atergabe adierazten saiatzea, lur zakarretik edo lurrak ematen duenetik, doinutik, formatik, koloretik, arimaren presondegiko ateak direnetatik, ulertzera iritsi garen edertasunaren irudi bat berriro ateratzea: hori duk artea.
