Paul Klee on form

In relation to my last post, I found this quote by the artist Paul Klee, which describes the dichotomy between form and formation very accurately:

"...form may never be regarded as solution, result, end, but should be regarded as genesis, growth, essence. Form as phenomenon is a dangerous chimera. Form as movement, as action, is a good thing, active form is good. Form as rest, as end, is bad. Passive, finished form is bad. Formation is good. Form is bad; form is the end, death. Formation is movement, act. Formation is life."

- from the book "Carlo Scarpa's Tomba Brion by Guido Guidi, p.28.
