1920, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, “Das Wesen der Bildhauerei”, in Feuer: Monatsschrift für Kunst und künstlerische Kultur, volume 1, Dr. Bagier, →DOI, page 151:Nicht so die Rundplastik: sie steht im allgemeinen Raume, mit den übrigen Körpern, ein Körper, wie sie. An diesem Ergebnis müssen wir festhalten; aus ihm werden wir uns das wahre Wesen der Bildhauerei erklären können, als die wir einzig die Rundplastik erkennen. Die Malerei und das Relief schaffen ihren Eigenraum.- Not so the sculpture in the round: it stands in ordinary space with the other bodies, a body like them. We must hold fast to this outcome; it will allow us to explain the true essence of sculpture, the designation we confer on sculpture in the round alone. Painting and relief create their own space.
