The curve belongs to organic and natural life and rests us. The straight line jars us and disturbs us, breaks the organic rhythm—it is inorganic, conceptual, and expressive of spiritual will. It forces us into another world away from all that is pleasing and natural—towards an Absolute…All art is made up of the effort toward a synthesis.
