I Couldn't Portray A Woman

Perspective Starts From One Viewpoint And Never Gets Away From It. But The Viewpoint Is Quite Unimportant. It Is Though Someone Were To Draw Profiles All His Life, Leading People To Think That A Man Has Only One Eye.

To Explain Away The Mystery Of A Great Painting - If Such A Feat Were Possible - Would Do Irreparable Harm... If There Is No Mystery, Then There Is No Poetry, The Quality I Value Above All Else In Art.

One Has To Arrive At A Specific Temperature, At Which The Objects Become Malleable.

I Couldn't Portray A Woman In All Her Natural Loveliness... I Haven't The Skill. No One Has. I Must, Therefore, Create A New Sort Of Beauty.

When Objects Shattered Into Fragments Appeared In My Painting About 1909, This For Me Was A Way Of Getting Closest To The Object... Fragmentation Helped Me To Establish Space And Movement In Space.
