… ”There are a number of common characteristics in the work of the artist and the scientist: imagination and intuition, search and experimentation, satisfaction and disappointment accompany the creative activity of both parties; both are deeply committed to their respective worlds, which demand their full devotion; both of them contemplate the world around them and represent it in models. But here is where the great difference between them begins. The scientist works within the framework of the agreed rules of the scientific method, and so the validity of his work is generally accepted by the scientific community. Compared to the scientist, the artist has much more freedom in his choice of subjects, means and methods in his depiction of the outside world, or, more precisely, in expressing his personal relationship with the outside world. At the same time, art also has its rules and its language, which is different from the language of science.

These were days of mutual contemplation and learning from one another in a spirit of curiosity and mutual respect.”…
