Theatre. Rebelling against a script that has already been written is not easy. But when you break your pride and realise that nothing is yours, maybe it is possible. Nothing is ours. Embrace passion action. And as soon as we believe that it is only ours, next to the illusory conviction of originality there is a mad philosopher of numbers who humiliates it, graphs it, synthesises it until it becomes abstract, far from the case of our creation, ready to annex it to that cosmos which is not humanity, but violent homologation which humiliates the self-determination of man. Man, now reduced to a deplorable monad, is waiting to enter with an impressive force of impact into those parametric and statistical models in which his gesture is only a variable that, although characterised by a single frequency, is still useful as a critical reference not to be crossed, on pain of exceeding a mean square deviation, beyond which there is the dangerous and non-existent freedom.

Modern Painters is a five-volume work by the eminent Victorian art critic, John Ruskin. The work placed emphasis on symbolism in art, expressed through nature and it was influential on the early development of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Ruskin wrote Modern Paintings for 17 years updating it and adding later volumes in subsequent years. The book was primarily written as a defense of the later work of J. M. W. Turner. Ruskin argues that recent painters emerging from the tradition of the picturesque are superior in the art of landscape to the old masters. He used the book to argue that art should devote itself to the accurate documentation of nature. In Ruskins view, Turner had developed from early detailed documentation of nature to a later more profound insight into natural forces and atmospheric effects.
