Out Of Limitations, New Forms Emerge

Whatever Is In Common Is True; But Likeness Is False.

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.

Emotion Should Not Be Rendered By An Excited Trembling; It Can Neither Be Added On Nor Be Imitated. It Is The Seed, The Work Is The Flower.

The Painter Thinks In Terms Of Form And Color. The Goal Is Not To Be Concerned With The Reconstitution Of An Anecdotal Fact, But With Constitution Of A Pictorial Fact.

I Thought That From The Moment Someone Else Could Do The Same As Myself, There Was No Difference Between The Pictures And They Should Not Be Signed. Afterwards I Realized It Was Not So And Began To Sign My Pictures Again. Picasso Had Begun Again Anyhow.
