A Painting Without Something Disturbing In It

It Is The Limitation Of Means That Determines Style, Gives Rise To New Forms And Makes Creativity Possible.

Painting Is A Nail To Which I Fasten My Ideas.

I Couldn't Portray A Women In All Her Natural Loveliness.. I Haven't The Skill. No One Has. I Must, Therefore, Create A New Sort Of Beauty, The Beauty That Appears To Me In Terms Of Volume Of Line, Of Mass, Of Weight, And Through That Beauty Interpret My Subjective Impression. Nature Is Mere A Pretext For Decorative Composition, Plus Sentiment. It Suggests Emotion, And I Translate That Emotion Into Art. I Want To Express The Absolute, Not Merely The Factitious Woman.

It Is Not Sufficient That What One Paints Should Be Made Visible. It Must Be Made Tangible.

One Day I Noticed That I Could Go On Working My Art Motif No Matter What The Weather Might Be. I No Longer Needed The Sun, For I Took My Light Everywhere With Me.
