master the mystery

/ Bill Schulz

What I am saying in this letter amounts to this. Let us try to master the mystey of technique to such an extent that people are deceived by it and will swear by all that is holy that we have no technique. Let our work be so savant that it seems naïve and does not stink of our sapience.

Vincent Van Gogh, letter to Amice Raspard, April 1884
