Truth Exists, Only Falsehood Has To Be

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

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.

I Wanted To Create A Kind Of Substance By Means Of Brush-work. But That Is The Kind Of Discovery Which One Makes Gradually... Thus It Was That I Subsequently Began To Introduce Sand, Sawdust And Metal Filings Into My Pictures.

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.

To Work From Nature Is To Improvise.
