Hay que interpretar siempre escanciando nuestra alma sobre las cosas viendo un algo espiritual donde no existe, dando a las formas el encanto de nuestros sentimientos, es necesario ver por las plazas solitarias a las almas antiguas que pasaron por ellas, es imprescindible ser uno y ser mil para sentir las cosas con todos sus matices.
Federico García Lorca en Impresiones y paisajes, 1918.
Art is the image of human being. This means that when a person is confronted with art, than they are in fact confronted with their own self, and so open their own eyes. And so it is the creative person who is addressed, their creativity, their freedom, their autonomy. And this is only possible using the concept of art; however, this concept must be made more comprehensive. You cannot and should not deal with this concept traditionally and say: that is what artist do and that what engineers do… But you can get beyond the concept. And the only escape route is a more comprehensive concept of art that is anthropological and that is taken seriously; that everyone is an artist, and that every person has a creative core.
Joseph Beuys, 1976
