art belongs to the unconscious! one must express oneself! express oneself directly! not one’s taste, or one’s upbringing, or one’s intelligence, knowledge or skill. not all these acquired characteristics, but that which is inborn, instinctive.
- arnold schoenberg quoted in "schoenberg, kandinsky, and the blue rider," jewish museum
