The Rôle Of The Artist Is That

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.

Never Before Had A Woman Put Such Agonizing Poetry On Canvas As Frida Did

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

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

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