If you want to express something through artistic means, it must be rounded off into a picture. Certainly, much that is extraordinarily meaningful has been achieved in so-called plein-air painting, in Impressionist painting. But on the other hand, it has been shown that when man places himself in such a way in relation to nature, as has been attempted there, nature does not ultimately surrender to the image. Namely, one has tried to capture the momentary impression, as one just said, the momentary vision, what the light flooding over the objects, the or the calm air, to capture that as an immediate impression, I would like to say to capture it so quickly that one does not have time to think about the matter, so that nothing of the thought flows into the artistic reproduction. - The difficulty arose, however, that the means of artistic expression, when one excludes the thought in this way, nevertheless fail. You can't get to grips with color and form so that color and form really come together to form a picture. And so Impressionism actually failed to achieve what it set out to achieve.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"51.

Wenn man irgendetwas durch Kunstmittel ausdrücken will, so muss es sich zum Bilde runden. Gewiss, es ist in der sogenannten Freilicht-Malerei, in der impressionistischen Malerei, manches außerordentlich Bedeutungsvolles geleistet worden. Aber auf der anderen Seite hat sich gezeigt, dass, wenn der Mensch sich der Natur so gegenüberstellt, wie es da versucht worden ist, doch die Natur zuletzt sich nicht dem Bilde ergibt. Man hat nämlich versucht, den augenblicklichen Eindruck, wie man eben sagte, die augenblickliche Impression festzuhalten, die unmittelbare Anschauung, dasjenige, was das über die Gegenstände flutende Licht, die vor dem Gegenstande flimmernde oder auch ruhige Luft macht, das als unmittelbaren Eindruck festzuhalten, ich möchte sagen so schnell festzuhalten, es aufzufassen, dass man nicht dazu komme, über die Sache zu denken, sodass in die künstlerische Wiedergabe nichts vom Gedanken einfließe. - Da hat sich allerdings die Schwierigkeit ergeben, dass die künstlerischen Ausdrucksmittel, wenn man auf diese Art den Gedanken ausschließt, dennoch versagen. Man kommt mit Farbe und Form dann nicht zurecht, sodass sich Farbe und Form wirklich zum Bilde runden.
