  • Ancient art has a specific inner content. At one time, art possessed the same purpose that books do in our day, namely: to preserve and transmit knowledge.

  • Poetry is one of the ancient arts, and it began, as did all the fine arts, within the original wilderness of the earth.

More especially, the cinema can fulfill certain promises made by the ancient arts, in the realization of which painting and film become close neighbors and work together.
