Quotes from Theo van Doesburg

Each superfluous line, each wrongly placed line, any color placed without veneration or care, can spoil everything, that is, the spiritual.

he line has almost become a work of art in itself; one can not play with it when the representation of objects perceived was all-important.

Art as language....in the future there will only be art. This common language will carry the message of love.

In place of the dream, the future will put art on a scientific and technical basis.
