Publishing a protocol under the name Atom that tries to capture all of the prior art in this stage and might provide a good basis for winding down the syndication wars.

I am for an art that takes into account the direct effect of the elements as they exist from day to day apart from representation.

I think that the destructive element is too much neglected in art.

Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.

How inscrutable and incomprehensible are the hidden works of Nature!

One of the most striking signs of the decay of art is when we see its separate forms jumbled together.

Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art.

I remember reading a 'Scientific American' article about the use of new physical techniques - including neutron scattering - as a method for unravelling the structure of the ribosome. I was fascinated.

Man's striving for order, of which art is but one manifestation, derives from a similar universal tendency throughout the organic world; it is also paralleled by, and perhaps derived from, the striving towards the state of simplest structure in physical systems.

I have to assume that everybody interprets a piece of art they're exposed to as if it's already perfect in its wholeness, without knowing any backstory.
