Constantin Brancusi , Romanian sculptor
said about Body, Eyes, Fish, Reality, Spirit, Want, Water...
"When you see a fish you don't think of its scales, do you? You think of its speed, its floating, flashing body seen through the water... If I made fins and eyes and scales, I would arrest its movement, give a pattern or shape of reality. I want just the flash of its spirit."
