in Art’, she advocated an interpretative view: As we approach music, we do not ask what sounds in nature correspond with the sound in the sonata ... We do not take in the single sounds separately, but try to find the theme. We feel in the first instance ... And here is the beginning for an understanding ... Art is not and never must be imitation of nature, but interpretation. In another of her lectures, she gave further insights into her understanding of art: We must make up our mind what kind of resemblance we ask for – superficial resemblance of outward features ... or resemblance to soul and character. If the latter is desired, we must be prepared to accept certain distortions because how should the artist express the abstract [sic]? Australian and New Zealand Journal of Art, vol. 18, no. 1
