'All art constantly aspires to the condition of music'
'Music has the ability to convey an aesthetic message in purely abstract terms, through the manipulation of tonality, without recourse to words or other representational symbols. In the visual arts over the last 200 years, one can see a gradual shift towards the elevation of colour, line and structure over purely pictorial elements, culminating in full abstraction. This is the aspiration of art towards the condition of music.'
