To Work From Nature Is To Improvise.

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

Writing Is Not Describing, Painting Is Not Depicting. Verisimilitude Is Merely An Illusion.

I Considered That The Painter's Personality Should Be Kept Out Of Things, And Therefore Pictures Should Be Anonymous. It Was I Who Decided That Pictures Should Not Be Signed, And For A Time Picasso Did The Same.

I Am Much More Interested In Achieving Unison With Nature Than In Copying It.

Nature Is A Mere Pretext For A Decorative Composition, Plus Sentiment. It Suggests Emotion, And I Translate That Emotion Into Art.
