Theo van Doesburg Quote
The complete and definitive work of art is created beyond one's individuality.... The universal transcends such a level. Mere spontaneity has never created a work of art which possesses a lasting cultural value. The method leading to universal form is based upon calculations of measure and number.
'Elementarism', in De Stijl – Van Doesburg Issue, January 1932, pp. 17-19
