| BkVII:1.III.2 | Would it make sense for a painter to blame the exhibition hall for his works? He painted and exhibited them himself. He could not keep from expressing himself. The urge to exhibit what emanates from oneself is too strong. Since it was better to express than not, he expressed what he could express in the way he could express. Perhaps the painter did not like the works that came from his heart, which is the source of every being. Nevertheless, they reveal how much the artist of these works loves himself in truth and holiness. |
