    Ziel der Kunst ist es, nicht die äußere Erscheinung der Dinge, sondern ihre innere Bedeutung darzustellen.

    ο στόχος της τέχνης είναι να αντιπροσωπεύει όχι την εξωτερική εμφάνιση των πραγμάτων, αλλά την εσωτερική σημασία τους.

    le but de l'art n'est pas de représenter l'apparence extérieure des choses, mais leur signification intérieure.

    कला का उद्देश्य चीजों की बाहरी उपस्थिति का प्रतिनिधित्व नहीं करना है, बल्कि उनका अंदरूनी महत्व है।

    Цель искусства - представить не внешний вид вещей, а их внутреннее значение.
