00 "As everyone knows, there are no aesthetic values 01 i 00 a priori 02 i 00 , but there are values which will appear in due course in the coherence of the picture, in the relation between the will to create and the finished work. No one can tell what the painting of to-morrow will be like; one cannot judge a painting until it is done. 01 font 00 What has 01 b 01 u 00 that 02 u 02 b 00 to do with morality? 02 font 00 We are in the same creative situation. We never speak of a work of art as irresponsible; when we are discussing a canvas by Picasso, we understand very well that the composition became what it is at the time when he was painting it, and that his works are part and parcel of his entire life. It is the same upon the plane of morality. 02 br
