Evidence Exhausts The Truth.

Perspective Is A Ghastly Mistake Which It Has Taken Four Centuries To Redress.

I Find That It Is Important To Work Slowly. Anyone Who Looks At Such A Canvas Will Follow The Same Path The Artist Took, And He Will Experience That It Is The Path Which Counts More Than The Outcome Of It, And That The Route Taken Has Been The Most Interesting Part.

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.

You Put A Blob Of Yellow Here, And Another At The Further Edge Of The Canvas: Straight Away A Rapport Is Established Between Them. Colour Acts In The Way That Music Does.

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