I Do Not Believe In

The Whole Renaissance Tradition Is Antipethic To Me. The Hard-and-fast Rules Of Perspective Which It Succeeded In Imposing On Art Were A Ghastly Mistake Which It Has Taken Four Centuries To Redress; Cezanne And After Him Picasso And Myself Can Take A Lot Of Credit For This. Scientific Perspective Forces The Objects In A Picture To Disappear Away From The Beholder Instead Of Bringing Them Within His Reach As Painting Should.

When One Reaches This State Of Harmony Between Things And One's Self, One Reaches A State Of Perfect Freedom And Peace-which Makes Everything Possible And Right. Life Becomes Perpetual Revelation.

I Thought That From The Moment Someone Else Could Do The Same As Myself, There Was No Difference Between The Pictures And They Should Not Be Signed. Afterwards I Realized It Was Not So And Began To Sign My Pictures Again. Picasso Had Begun Again Anyhow.

Art Is Made To Trouble But Science Reassures.

One Has To Arrive At A Specific Temperature, At Which The Objects Become Malleable.
