Summary

This quote suggests that abstract art does not exist in its pure form, as every artwork must originate from some concrete inspiration or reference. It emphasizes the importance of beginning an artistic creation with a tangible subject, and then allowing the artist to gradually detach from reality by eliminating recognizable elements. It implies that even in abstract art, there is always a connection to reality, although it may become more elusive or obscured as the artwork evolves.
