“…When I speak of the beauty of forms, I do not at all mean what common perception would consider beautiful—whether in a living being or a painted work—but rather the straight line and the curve, the planes or solid shapes and bodies that take these lines as their primal elements, shaped by lathes, rulers, and triangles, if you understand. For these, I hold the opinion, are not beautiful relative to anything else; by their very nature, they possess eternal beauty in their essence, offering pleasures entirely their own, wholly distinct from the superficial delights of stimuli. Similarly, I deem colors beautiful when they bear these traits and these pleasures…”
