Everything has to start at the beginning, and that beginning is completely local. It's the same thing in literature. In the end, I think it is what is in the museums. Art is seeing or doing the same things in a different way. The artist's function is to exalt life sometimes through sensuousness and to communicate that to nature.
Coherence is the defining element in a work of art.
That is what separates the great artist from the disciples. The master is always so obsessed with an idea that he has deformed that idea so much that everything he does is touched by that madness. There is nothing more like madness than style. Form is obviously the vision you have of nature. For me it is an exultation of volume, it is sensuousness.
