With Age, Art And Life

I Couldn't Portray A Women In All Her Natural Loveliness.. I Haven't The Skill. No One Has. I Must, Therefore, Create A New Sort Of Beauty, The Beauty That Appears To Me In Terms Of Volume Of Line, Of Mass, Of Weight, And Through That Beauty Interpret My Subjective Impression. Nature Is Mere A Pretext For Decorative Composition, Plus Sentiment. It Suggests Emotion, And I Translate That Emotion Into Art. I Want To Express The Absolute, Not Merely The Factitious Woman.

Emotion Should Not Be Rendered By An Excited Trembling; It Can Neither Be Added On Nor Be Imitated. It Is The Seed, The Work Is The Flower.

Whatever Is Valuable In Painting Is Precisely What One Is Incapable Of Talking About.

Out Of Limitations, New Forms Emerge

Painting Is A Nail To Which I Fasten My Ideas.
