...One of the important discoveries they made in the early days of their research was a statement made by English historian Arnold Toynbee, which Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson quoted when making his acceptance speech for his Nobel Prize for Peace in 1957. ''The 20th century will be chiefly remembered by future generations not as an era of political conflicts or technical inventions, but as an age in which human society dared to think of the welfare of the whole human race as a practical objective,''

Life and art for him were one inseparable, uninterrupted performance. ...His aim was to make art that would change the world. His aspiration and a big sense of the work is making something beautiful out of something that reeks of destruction...
