Painting Is A Nail To Which I

Art Is Meant To Disturb. Science Reassures.

Colour Acts Simultaneously With Form, But Has Nothing To Do With Form.

Art Is Polymorphic. A Picture Appears To Each Onlooker Under A Different Guise.

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 Whole Renaissance Tradition Is Antipethic To Me. The Hard-and-fast Rules Of Perspective Which It Succeeded In Imposing On Art Were A Ghastly Mistake Which It Has Taken Four Centuries To Redress; Cezanne And After Him Picasso And Myself Can Take A Lot Of Credit For This. Scientific Perspective Forces The Objects In A Picture To Disappear Away From The Beholder Instead Of Bringing Them Within His Reach As Painting Should.
