Stanton Macdonald-Wright Quotes

“I strive to make my art bear the same relation to painting that polyphony bears to music. Illustrative music is a thing of the past: it has become abstract and purely aesthetic, dependent for its effect upon rhythm and form.”

Stanton Macdonald-Wright

Quoted in Bryant American Pictures And Their Painters (1917), p. 302
