Author of quotes: Paul Klee

His [van Gogh's] pathos is alien to me, especially in my current phase, but he's definitely a genius. Pathetic to pathology, this man threatened, can become dangerous for those who do not see how he is. Here the brain exterminated by the fire of the star and is revealed in the work shortly before the crash. Here there is the deep tragedy, real tragedy, natural tragedy, exemplary tragedy. Allow me to be terrified.

The artist must paint not what he sees but what will be seen.

The more horrifying the world becomes, the more art becomes abstract.
