Mitoraj has always endeavoured to deliver the battalion that our time desires above all but is unable to achieve: that is, the moral, ethical, religious, even theological, value of beauty. It was precisely by continuing to hammer home this need, with the patient and stubborn constancy with which ancient blacksmiths struck iron, that Mitoraj intimately discovered the pain, the 'tears and blood' of which such beauty cannot but 'drip'.
