“The more varied are our technical means, the greater the latitude for expression. . . .
In order to create, the artist must make use of all the means that science places at his
disposal: conserving or limiting oneself to the methods of times gone by is absurd. . . .
Simple logic and facts therefore bring us to the use of new models, to the steadfast pursuit
of modernism in art.”
Edgar Brandt – Lecture to the Graduates of the Technical Professional Schools Paris,
February 10, 1922.
