I Don't Want My Work To Be

Cubism Is An Anatomical Chart Of A Way Of Seeing External Objects. But I Want To Confuse The Meaning Of The Act Of Looking.

I Don't Want My Work To Be An Exposure Of My Feelings.

In My Early Work, I Tried To Hide My Personality, My Psychological State, My Emotions. This Was Partly Due To My Feelings About Myself And Partly Due To My Feelings About Painting At The Time. I Sort Of Stuck To My Guns For A While But Eventually It Seemed Like A Losing Battle. Finally One Must Simply Drop The Reserve.

Old Art Offers Just As Good A Criticism Of New Art As New Art Offers Of Old.

Everybody Is Of Course Free To Interpret The Work In His Own Way. I Think Seeing A Picture Is One Thing And Interpreting It Is Another.
