Because I Cannot Work Except In Solitude,

We Now Know That Art Is Not The Truth... But Rather A Way Of Approaching The Truth.

Painting Is Not Made To Decorate Apartments. It's An Offensive And Defensive Weapon Against The Enemy. (about Guernica).

Everyone Wants To Understand Art. Why Not Try To Understand The Song Of A Bird? Why Does One Love The Night, Flowers, Everything Around One, Without Trying To Understand Them? But In The Case Of A Painting People Have To Understand. If Only They Would Realize Above All That An Artist Works Of Necessity, That He Himself Is Only A Trifling Bit Of The World, And That No More Importance Should Be Attached To Him Than To Plenty Of Other Things Which Please Us In The World, Though We Can't Explain Them. People Who Try To Explain Pictures Are Usually Barking Up The Wrong Tree.

When You Start With A Portrait And Try To Find Pure Form By Abstracting More And More, You Must End Up With An Egg.

Music And Art Are The Guiding Lights Of The World.
