The Function Of Art Is To Disturb.

It Is Not Sufficient That What One Paints Should Be Made Visible. It Must Be Made Tangible.

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.

I Do Not Believe In Objects. I Believe Only In Their Relationships.

To Define A Thing Is To Substitute The Definition For The Thing Itself.

Art Is Made To Trouble But Science Reassures.
