We tried to see when we did not know what we looked like.

21:21
We were longing for landscapes which had long been destroyed.

21:25
We saw ourselves as modern but we never respected the past.

21:27
We knew if we embraced all of our ideals we would become hopelessly absolute.

21:30
We only had visions of half- truths.

21:35
Lacking all conviction, even the best artists began to yield.

21:37
Rather than go against the grain, it was at this moment when we realized we
could abandon those hopeless constraints and begin to create our own art.

21:42
That we would succeed in doing just that.

21:45
We chose to solve a problem placed upon us [as artists] that has been
forced upon us throughout the history of art.

21:48
We create, for the first time, our art of a general and universal magnitude.

21:51
We took hold of the matter and made issue of the matter with a freedom
we could get from nowhere but ourselves.

21:52
We will make art out of it.

22:04
Poetic, romantic, wise, tattered and poor. This is what art is ... this is who we are.
