The starting point of a picture for any painter is a matter of colors and form...I believe that the poetry of art - if that is what one may call it - is a matter of animating these forms and colors.
A painting without something disturbing in it – what's that?.
Painting is a nail to which I fasten my ideas.
We will never have repose. The present is perpetual.
Truth exists, only falsehood has to be invented.
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.
