"To be of a new generation, therefore, is not to be young - many of the young being old - but to participate actively in elaborating the subtlety of the age and fixing its style; to be from a new generation means to be contemporary with yourself, to be the exponent of the aesthetic aspirations of the historical moment and to realize them through a maximum of expression in works, caduceus, if we look at them in the context of true soul correspondences in continuous movement, but characteristic. If we look at them historically in the light of the evolutionary principle of the aesthetic concept.

To be of a new generation, therefore, is not to be young - many of the young being old - but to participate actively in elaborating the subtlety of the age and fixing its style; to be from a new generation means to be contemporary with yourself, to be the exponent of the aesthetic aspirations of the historical moment and to realize them through a maximum of expression in works, caduceus, if we look at them in the context of true soul correspondences in continuous movement, but characteristic. If we look at them historically in the light of the evolutionary principle of the aesthetic concept.
""A fi dintr-o generație nouă nu înseamnă, așadar, a fi tânăr - mulți dintre tineri fiind bătrâni - ci de a participa activ la elaborarea subtilității epocii și la fixarea stilului ei; a fi dintr-o generație nouă înseamnă a fi contemporan cu tine însuți, a fi exponentul aspirațiilor estetice ale momentului istoric și a le realiza printr-un maximum de expresie în opere, caduce, de le privim sub raportul adevăratelor corespondențe sufletești în continuă mișcare, dar caracteristice. De le privim istoricește în lumina principiului evolutiv al conceptului estetic."
