• El cubismo no es una manera, sino una estética, e incluso un estado de ánimo; por lo tanto, está inevitablemente relacionado con todas las manifestaciones del pensamiento contemporáneo.

• Painting for me is like a fabric, all of a piece and uniform, with one set of threads as the representational, esthetic element, and the cross-threads as the technical, architectural, or abstract element. These threads are interdependent and complementary, and if one set is lacking the fabric does not exist. A picture with no representational purpose is to my mind always an incomplete technical exercise, for the only purpose of any picture is to achieve representation.
