People need to be woken up. Their way of identifying things, shattered. Unacceptable images should be created.

Understanding Art
 
Everyone wants to understand painting. Why not try to understand the songs of a bird? Why does one love the night, flowers, everything around one, without trying to understand them? But in the case of painting people have to understand.    

Paris, 1935

Before [...] a painting was the sum of additions. For me, a painting is the sum of destructions. I do a painting and then I destroy it. But in the end, it is not lost – the red I wiped from one part appears in another part in another place. 

Paris,1935

Creation

I look for inspiration in reality. Only reality powers my imagination and gives me new life.

Each painting, each rhythm, each colour is a battle. A battle against oneself, against painting.

I merely try to place the greatest humanity possible in my paintings. It is just as valid if it offends some idolaters of conventional human effigies – they just need to look at themselves a little closer in a mirror. What is a face, in truth? […] What we have in front of us? Inside? Behind? And the rest?
Doesn’t everyone see it in their own way?

Paris, 1946

Expression
 
 
There is no painting or drawing of mine that does not follow exactly a vision of the world.

Vision of the World and Attitude to Life
 
 I am proud to say it, I have never considered painting as a simple pleasurable art of distraction – through my weapons of drawing and colour I have always wanted to further investigate knowledge of the world and of man, so that this knowledge frees us more every day. 

Paris, 1987

My old paintings do not interest me... I am much more curious about those I still haven’t painted yet.
