I Paint What I Think, Not What

A Picture Is Not Thought Out And Settled Beforehand. While It Is Being Done It Changes As One's Thoughts Change.

We Didn't Want To Sign The Painting Itself, That Would Have Interfered With The Composition. And Even Later, For That Reason Or For Another, I Sometimes Marked My Canvases On The Back. If You Don't See My Signature And The Date, Madam, It's Because The Frame Is Hiding It.

When I Paint A Woman In An Armchair, The Armchair Is There To Show Illness And Death-or As A Protection.

Painting Is Not Made To Decorate Apartments. It's An Offensive And Defensive Weapon Against The Enemy. (about Guernica).

It Is Not What An Artist Does That Counts...but What He Is.
