Painting is an essentially concrete art and can only consist of the representation of real and existing things. Gustave Courbet
We do not wish to copy nature. We do not want to reproduce, we want to produce. We want to produce as a plant produces a fruit and does not itself reproduce. We want to produce directly and without meditation. As there is not the least trace of abstraction in this art, we will call it concrete art. Jean Arp
