One of the weaknesses of much abstract painting is the attempt to substitute the inventions of the intellect for a pristine imaginative conception. The inner life of a human being is a vast and varied realm and does not concern itself alone with stimulating arrangements of color, form and design. The term 'life' as used in art is something not to be held in contempt, for it applies all of its existence, and the province of art is to react to it and not to shun it. Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again be great.

System of coordinates
Every person has a conviction in a certain arrangement and order of things in the world. These convictions form the carcass - a personal core. Convictions define vital aspirations of a human being, the sense of his existence, help to feel well-grounded and finally give sense of commitment. I suppose it is suitable to call it a belief.
A distinctive feature of any belief is hidden in the idea that it doesn't demand the answer to the question 'Why?'. You believe, because you start feeling yourself complete and valuable. You believe, because you feel it is right. In short, you believe, because you believe.
There is no people with convictions. To have no conviction is impossible. It doesn't even matter if a person is a nehilist. He, himself, believes that all moral claims are void of any truth value. And that is again his purest conviction and belief.
The one that considers career to be the greatest value in his life lives in the different system of coordinates compared to the one who believes that family is the most important. Of course, one will try to disagree with me paying my attention to the fact that everything should be in combination: family, career, self-realization, etc., but when we stop becoming so idealistic and transfer ourselves to real life, it becomes obvious that our life is limited to time resources and everyone defines what he finds of the highest importance, defines where his efforts should go, and, in this respect, other aspects become supplementing.
No matter how you slice it, efforts are directed mostly to one goal, other goals are subordinated to the main one.
