Painting Is A Nail To Which I

The Space Between The Dish And The Pitcher, That I Paint Also.

Critics Should Help People See For Themselves; They Should Never Try To Define Things, Or Impose Their Own Explanations, Though I Admit That If... A Critic's Explanations Serve To Increase The General Obscurity, That's All To The Good.

The Whole Renaissance Tradition Is Antipethic To Me. The Hard-and-fast Rules Of Perspective Which It Succeeded In Imposing On Art Were A Ghastly Mistake Which It Has Taken Four Centuries To Redress; Cezanne And After Him Picasso And Myself Can Take A Lot Of Credit For This. Scientific Perspective Forces The Objects In A Picture To Disappear Away From The Beholder Instead Of Bringing Them Within His Reach As Painting Should.

Poetry Is To A Painting What Life Is To Man.

The Things That Picasso And I Said To One Another During Those Years Will Never Be Said Again, And Even If They Were, No One Would Understand Them Anymore. It Was Like Being Roped Together On A Mountain.
