Art is an expression of its time and even more of its creator, not only of his virtuosity but of his judgment and discrimination...perhaps, against the pressures of contemporary life, the artist can again concentrate on the creation of the beautiful object, which after all, has been through the centuries an ultimate aim of aesthetic effort.
