Looking Back Upon My Work Today, I Think The Best I Have Done Grew Out Of Things Deeply Felt, The Worst From A Pride In Mere Talent.

The Artist Must Try To Raise The Level Of Taste Of The Masses, Not Debase Himself To The Level Of Unformed And Impoverished Taste.

My Cubist Paintings Are My Most Mexican.
