It Is The Unforeseeable That

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.

A Painting Without Something Disturbing In It – What's That?.

What Greatly Attracted Me - And It Was The Main Line Of Advance Of Cubism - Was How To Give Material Expression To This New Space Of Which I Had An Inkling. So I Began To Paint Chiefly Still Lifes, Because In Nature There Is A Tactile, I Would Almost Say A Manual Space... That Was The Earliest Cubist Painting - The Quest For Space.

If I Have Called Cubism A New Order, It Is Without Any Revolutionary Ideas Or Any Reactionary Ideas... One Cannot Escape From One's Own Epoch, However Revolutionary One May Be.

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.
