The symposium also discussed that the ancient artist is no less skilled, artistic and cynical than the contemporary or modern artist, and that human strength is important because it evokes passion and feelings and this strength has undergone transformations in his craft from the principle of violation and not subjecting human strength to the recognized golden proportions.
