Nothing could be more ridiculous or irrelevant than a ‘philosophical conception’ painted purely
intellectually without the terrible fury of the senses grasping each form of beauty and ugliness. If

all originated from the senses, in this case from the eyes, and each intellectual subject has been
transformed again into form, color, and space.
