But since this tendency of an artist is adventure, it has every chance of failure. Very few artists are able to succeed in exaggeration in their artistic executions, and those who are incapable of doing this, when attempting to exaggerate their art, prove themselves to be nothing but premature. In the art of improvement, no doubt the creative faculty of the artist has as vast a scope as he may require, but no artist has ever been able to produce, nor will any artist ever be able to produce, the form that does not exist. There is no form nor color that does not exist in nature, and there are many forms and colors which remain and will remain unknown and unexplored by science or art. And this shows that man, however great an artist, is but a copier of nature, and by this one comes to the realization that after all man is man, and God is God.
