Whatever Is Valuable In Painting Is Precisely

We Will Never Have Repose. The Present Is Perpetual.

The Things That Picasso And I Said To One Another During Those Years Will Never Be Said Again, And Even If They Were, No One Would Understand Them Anymore. It Was Like Being Roped Together On A Mountain.

I Am Interposing Overlaid Planes A Short Way Off... To Make It Understood That Things Are In Front Of Each Other Instead Of Being Scattered In Space.

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.

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.
