Beauty. You mean
your spiritual conception of beauty.

:33:11
But do you deny the ability
of the artist to create from the spirit?

:33:15
Yes, Gustav, that is precisely what I deny.
:33:31
So then, according to you,
our labor as artists is...

:33:35
Labor, exactly!
:33:38
Do you really believe in beauty
as the product of labor?

:33:48
Yes, I do.
:33:53
That's how beauty is born.
:33:56
Like that. Spontaneously.
In utter disregard for your labor and mine.

:34:00
It pre-exists our presumption as artists.
:34:40
Your great error, my dear friend,
is to consider life...

:34:43
reality as a limitation.
:34:46
But isn't that what it is?
:34:48
Reality only distracts and degrades us.
