You have to know how to be vulgar. Paint with four-letter words.

Every now and then one paints a picture that seems to have opened a door and serves as a stepping stone to other things.

The fact that for a long time Cubism has not been understood and that even today there are people who cannot see anything in it means nothing. I do not read English, an English book is a blank book to me. This does not mean that the English language does not exist. Why should I blame anyone but myself if I cannot understand what I know nothing about?" -Pablo Picasso.

Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.

Painting is a jeu d'esprit.
