Arnold Hauser
“Since Gothic days all great art, with the exception of a few short-lived classicist movements, has something fragmentary about it, an inward or outward incompleteness, an unwillingness, whether conscious or unconscious, to utter the last word. There is always something left over for the spectator or reader to complete. The modern artist shrinks from the last word, because he feels the inadequacy of all words— a feeling which we may say was never experienced by man before Gothic times.”
Arnold Hauser, The Social History of Art, Volume 1: From Prehistoric Times to the Middle Ages

Kakuzō Okakura
“Seul celui qui a achevé en esprit l'inachevé peut découvrir la véritable beauté. La vigueur de la vie et de l'art réside dans leurs possibilités de croissance.”
Kakuzō Okakura, The Book of Tea
