Even with this second step of artistic creating, there remains a wide gulf between idea and reality. One still tends to lean upon the great model of nature and to be satisfied with the fact that one farms in a "nature-near" or "biological" way. This resembles one who already fancies himself an artist by copying the sensory-objective world of nature. Certainly, nature provides the tool and gives instruction on how to deploy it rationally according to her rules — but what the organism- or individuality-idea derived from the human being shapes from this by human hands is something new; it is a work of art that transcends the nature-given.
