Evidence Exhausts The Truth.

Painting Is A Nail To Which I Fasten My Ideas.

The Things That Picasso And I Said To One Another During Those Years Will Never Be Said Again, And Even If They Were, No One Would Understand Them Anymore. It Was Like Being Roped Together On A Mountain.

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 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.
