Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of an artist's presence and influence in their work. It suggests that like God's presence in creation, an artist's impact should be felt throughout their artistic creation without overtly revealing their personal presence or ego. The artist's influence, though invisible, should be all-encompassing and powerful, leaving an indelible mark on the work. This idea suggests that the artist's work should speak for itself, connecting with and inspiring viewers without the need for personal recognition or ego-driven self-promotion.
