To Work From Nature Is To Improvise.

I Wanted To Create A Kind Of Substance By Means Of Brush-work. But That Is The Kind Of Discovery Which One Makes Gradually... Thus It Was That I Subsequently Began To Introduce Sand, Sawdust And Metal Filings Into My Pictures.

I Have Made A Great Discovery. I No Longer Believe In Anything.

La Ve Rite Existe; On N'invente Que Le Mensonge. Truth Exists; Only Lies Are Invented.

If We Had Never Met Picasso, Would Cubism Have Been What It Is? I Think Not. The Meeting With Picasso Was A Circumstance In Our Lives.

I Have Made A Great Discovery. I No Longer Believe In Anything. Objects Don't Exist For Me Except In So Far As A Rapport Exists Between Them And Myself. When One Attains This Harmony, One Reaches A Sort Of Intellectual Non-existence, What I Can Only Describe As A Sense Of Peace, Which Makes Everything Possible And Right. Life Then Becomes A Perpetual Revelation. That Is True Poetry.
