Only The Work Of Art Itself Can

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

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.

My Cubist Paintings Are My Most Mexican.

The Rôle Of The Artist Is That Of A Soldier Of The Revolution.

To Be An Artist, One Must . . . Never Shirk From The Truth As He Understands It, Never Withdraw From Life
