“The Proun is a station on the way to the construction of a new form.”

“We are the creators of the new world. We are the masters of our own lives.”

“Our work is to build the world of tomorrow.”

“Every form is a frozen instant of a process. Thus a work of art is a stopping-place in a process that is not yet completed.”

“The surface is our canvas, space is our material.”

“Typography is a tool for communication. It is a visual form of language.”

“The goal is not the object, but the new reality.”

“The artist constructs a new symbol with his brush. This symbol is not a recognizable form of anything that is already finished, already made, already existing in the world - it is a symbol of a new world, which is being built upon and which exists by way of people.”

“The artist must be a technician of the senses.”

“The future of art lies in the synthesis of all the arts.”

“The goal we are setting for ourselves is not the creation of a 'work of art' but the solution of a problem.”

“The square is the source of all creative work.”

“Art is not a mirror to reflect reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.”

“Our age has not yet created a new contemporary style. But it has created a new life, new relationships, new forms.”
