My Cubist Paintings Are My Most Mexican.

All Art Is Propaganda. ... The Only Difference Is The Kind Of Propaganda. Since Art Is Essential For Human Life, It Can't Just Belong To The Few. Art Is The Universal Language, And It Belongs To All Mankind. All Painters Have Been Propagandists Or Else They Have Not Been Painters. ... Every Artist Who Has Been Worth Anything In Art Has Been Such A Propagandist. ... Every Strong Artist Has Been A Propagandist. I Want To Be A Propagandist And I Want To Be Nothing Else. ... I Want To Use My Art As A Weapon.

As An Artist I Have Always Tried To Be Faithful To My Vision Of Life, And I Have Frequently Been In Conflict With Those Who Wanted Me To Paint Not What I Saw But What They Wished Me To See.

I Know Now That He Who Hopes To Be Universal In His Art Must Plant In His Own Soil. Great Art Is Like A Tree, Which Grows In A Particular Place And Has A Trunk, Leaves, Blossoms, Boughs, Fruit, And Roots Of Its Own. The More Native Art Is, The More It Belongs To The Entire World, Because Taste Is Rooted In Nature. When Art Is True, It Is One With Nature. This Is The Secret Of Primitive Art And Also Of The Art Of The Mastersmichelangelo, Czanne, Seurat, And Renoir. The Secret Of My Best Work Is That It Is Mexican.

July 13, 1954 Was The Most Tragic Day Of My Life. I Had Lost My Beloved Frida Forever. To Late Now I Realized That The Most Wonderful Part Of My Life Had Been My Love For Frida.

I've Never Believed In God, But I Believe In Picasso.
