Between the two living beings there is always the third - abstract, metaphysical. Edgar Allen Poe and Flammarion existed in reality, but live now only metaphysically. The whiskey bottle that was on the table is there still forever, but abstract. Conciousness is the possession not only of man, the insignificant particle of creation, but of Mother Nature as well. I paint the portraits of demons, for who I keep an empty chair in my studio.
Yesterday is the shadow of to-day.
Yet the yesterdays appear sooner than the present has time to disappear. This developement occured in the muscles and bones of the human man and the rougher mechanical elements of man until we reached a purely physical mechanical man - the industrial worker of the present, being replaced by a purely mechanical construction. Today - the beginning of the historical radio era, we are witnessing the mechanization of the human mind or of the mental qualities of man. This is the beginning of the creation of a mechanical mentality. The physical side of philosophical.
