Art Is A Wound Turned Into Light.

If I Have Called Cubism A New Order, It Is Without Any Revolutionary Ideas Or Any Reactionary Ideas... One Cannot Escape From One's Own Epoch, However Revolutionary One May Be.

Nature Is A Mere Pretext For A Decorative Composition, Plus Sentiment. It Suggests Emotion, And I Translate That Emotion Into Art.

Emotion Should Not Be Rendered By An Excited Trembling; It Can Neither Be Added On Nor Be Imitated. It Is The Seed, The Work Is The Flower.

There Is Only One Valuable Thing In Art: The Thing You Cannot Explain.

Whatever Is Valuable In Painting Is Precisely What One Is Incapable Of Talking About.
