Painting is not made to decorate apartments. It's an offensive and defensive weapon against the enemy. (about Guernica).

Because I cannot work except in solitude, it is necessary that I live my work and that is impossible except in solitude.

When I die, it will be a shipwreck, and as when a huge ship sinks, many people all around will be sucked down with it.

Art isn't done to decorate apartments, but to wage war against the enemy.

The purpose of Art is to create enthusiasm.

I don't think I'm wrong when I say that the most beautiful objects of the "stone age" were made of skin, fabric, and especially wood. The "stone age" ought to be called the "wood age." How many African statues are made of stone, bone, or ivory? Maybe one in a thousand! And prehistoric man had no more ivory at his disposal than African tribes. Maybe even less. He must have had thousands of wooden fetishes, all gone now.

Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.
