“The space is the place of the work of art, but it is not enough to say that it takes place in it, deals with it depending on its needs, defines it , and even creates it as it is necessary to it. The space where life moves about is an element to which it submits, the space of art is plastic and changing matter.” Henry Focillon (Image source; unknown)
