We should always strive to move forward. But then it is our conviction, however strict critics we are in relation to it, what we can already offer, that either through us, probably through others, this eurythmic art, when it is further developed, will become something that can actually lead the way into the other arts, for example into painting: one tries to express the inner life of the human being with color.
