What is modern art but the attempt to pinpoint vague, incorporeal, inexpressible sensations? What is modern art, I would add, but the most solemn pile of nonsense that ever appeared on Earth?

I have trouble with modern art. But in general, all art forms fascinate me - art is the way human beings express what we can't say in words.
Art is the means by which we communicate what it feels like to be alive - in the past, that was mixed up with other illustrative duties, but that was still its central function that has been liberated in the art called modern.
The modern notion of art is an essentially religious or magical one in which the artist is viewed as a holy beast who in some way, big or small, receives flashes from the godhead, which is known as creativity.
Art distills sensation and embodies it with enhanced meaning in a memorable form - or else it is not art.
It is not hard to understand modern art. If it hangs on a wall it's a painting, and if you can walk around it it's a sculpture.
The modern artist... is working and expressing an inner world - in other words - expressing the energy, the motion, and other inner forces.
Art is the concrete representation of our most subtle feelings.
The modern work of art, as I have said, is a symbol.
Art cannot be modern. Art is primordially eternal.
Art distills sensations and embodies it with enhanced meaning.
