"In conclusion, therefore, I shall embark upon the negative path and explain as clearly as possible what I do not want. ... I do not want to paint music. I do not want to paint states of mind. I do not want to paint coloristically or uncoloristically. I do not want to alter, contest, or overthrow any single point in the harmony of the masterpieces of the past. I do not want to show the future its true path. ... I want only to paint good, necessary, living pictures, which are experienced properly by at least a few viewers." -Wassily Kandinsky
