Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834) English poet, literary critic and philosopher
On Poesy or Art (1818)
Context: Now Art, used collectively for painting, sculpture, architecture and music, is the mediatress between, and reconciler of, nature and man. It is, therefore, the power of humanizing nature, of infusing the thoughts and passions of man into everything which is the object of his contemplation.
Piet Mondrian (1872–1944) Peintre Néerlandais
