“Any combining, mixing, adding, diluting, exploiting, vulgarizing, or
popularizing of abstract art deprives art of its essence and depraves
the artist’s artistic consciousness. Art is free, but it is not a
free-for-all. The one struggle in art is the struggle of artists
against artists, of artist against artist, of the artist-as-artist
within and against the artist-as- man, -animal, or -vegetable. Artists
who claim their artwork comes from nature, life, reality, earth or
heaven, as ‘mirrors of the soul’ or ‘reflections of conditions’ or
‘instruments of the universe’, who cook up ‘new images of man’ – figures
and ‘nature-in-abstraction’ – pictures, are subjectively and
objectively, rascals or rustics.”
