WASSILY KANDINSKY (Russian, 16 December 1866 - 13 December 1944)

It is never literally true that any form is meaningless and “says nothing.” Every form in the world says something. But its message often fails to reach us, and even if it does, full understanding is often withheld from us,  and, properly speaking, FORM IS THE OUTWARD EXPRESSION OF THIS INNER MEANING.

— Concerning the Spiritual in Art, 1912
