Evidence Exhausts The Truth.

Poetry' Is What Distinguishes The Cubist Paintings Picasso And I Arrived At Intuitively From The Lifeless Sort Of Painting Those Who Followed Us Tried, With Such Unfortunate Results, To Arrive At Theoretically.

Painting Is A Nail To Which I Fasten My Ideas.

I Do Not Believe In Things. I Believe In Relationships.

I Couldn't Portray A Women In All Her Natural Loveliness.. I Haven't The Skill. No One Has. I Must, Therefore, Create A New Sort Of Beauty, The Beauty That Appears To Me In Terms Of Volume Of Line, Of Mass, Of Weight, And Through That Beauty Interpret My Subjective Impression. Nature Is Mere A Pretext For Decorative Composition, Plus Sentiment. It Suggests Emotion, And I Translate That Emotion Into Art. I Want To Express The Absolute, Not Merely The Factitious Woman.

I Realized That One Cannot Reveal Oneself Without Mannerism, Without Some Evident Trace Of One's Personality. But All The Same One Should Not Go Too Far In That Direction.
