To Be An Artist, One Must .

Only The Work Of Art Itself Can Raise The Standard Of Taste.

I Did Not Know It Then, But Frida Had Already Become The Most Important Fact In My Life. And Would Continue To Be, Up To The Moment She Died, 27 Years Later.

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.

If I Ever Loved A Woman, The More I Loved Her, The More I Wanted To Hurt Her. Frida Was Only The Most Obvious Victim Of This Disgusting Trait.

Art Is Like Ham-it Nourishes People.
