A new artwork should be a unique thing. A birth. Bringing a new face into the world through the human spirit. 
The artist should call forth all of her energy, her sincerity, and the greatest possible modesty 
in order to push aside the old cliches that come so readily 
and can suffocate the small flower which itself never turns out as one expected. The text is from JAZZ by Henri Matisse.
