We Will Never Have Repose. The Present

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.

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.

In Art There Is Only One Thing That Counts: The Bit That Cannot Be Explained.

Nature Is A Mere Pretext For A Decorative Composition, Plus Sentiment. It Suggests Emotion, And I Translate That Emotion Into Art.

I Do Not Believe In Objects. I Believe Only In Their Relationships.
