“The change in our restless age is the only constant feature. Paradoxically it has come to be a continuum. Thus I found myself among a generation as if we are in a flood of a real change of art criteria and terminology… Living in a chaos once more …a chaos containing a plethora of destructionalism, revolts against forms and traditional nomenclatures, a chaos abundant with amorphous figures and beings.

There is no time to deal with esthetic forms, academic patterns, professionalism and experimentalism in geometrical space. A horrible chaos, unique circumstances of shapelessness are imposing their existence upon our time… The universe seems to rethink about its own form, aspired to a post chaotic era.”
