I Like The Rule That Corrects Emotion.

Perspective Starts From One Viewpoint And Never Gets Away From It. But The Viewpoint Is Quite Unimportant. It Is Though Someone Were To Draw Profiles All His Life, Leading People To Think That A Man Has Only One Eye.

A Painting Without Something Disturbing In It – What's That?.

To Explain Away The Mystery Of A Great Painting - If Such A Feat Were Possible - Would Do Irreparable Harm... If There Is No Mystery, Then There Is No Poetry, The Quality I Value Above All Else In Art.

I Considered That The Painter's Personality Should Be Kept Out Of Things, And Therefore Pictures Should Be Anonymous. It Was I Who Decided That Pictures Should Not Be Signed, And For A Time Picasso Did The Same.

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.
