"Each form is free and individual. Each form is a world. Any painterly surface is more alive than any face from which a pair of eyes and a smile protrude. A face painted in a picture gives a pitiful parody of life, and this allusion is merely a reminder of the living. But a surface lives; it has been born. A coffin reminds us of the dead; a picture, of the living."
