The Different Styles I Have Been Using

When You Begin A Picture You Often Make Some Pretty Discoveries. You Must Be On Guard Against These. Destroy The Thing, Do It Over Several Times. In Each Destroying Of A Beautiful Discovery, The Artist Does Not Really Suppress It, But Rather Condenses It, Makes It More Substantial. What Comes Out In The End Is The Result Of Discarded Finds. Otherwise You Become Your Own Connoisseur.

Painting Is Not Made To Decorate Apartments. It's An Offensive And Defensive Weapon Against The Enemy. (about Guernica).

When There's Dust Missing Here Or There, It's Because Someone Has Touched My Things. I See Immediately Someone Has Been There. And It's Because I Live Constantly With Dust, In Dust, That I Prefer To Wear Gray Suits, The Only Color On Which It Leaves No Trace.

What A Trade! Poor Painters! They Always Wish To Be Understood, And They Are Analysed Instead.

I Have Had No True Friends, Only Lovers.
