As we do not see squares in nature, I thought that it is man-made. But I have corrected myself. Because squares exist in salt crystals, our daily salt. (Josef Albers)
No high-minded painter of the last fifty years has been able to come to terms with his art without coming to terms with the problem of cubism. (Darby Bannard)
-on Cubism...
Let them eat their fill of their square pears on their triangular tables! (Marc Chagall)
Until cubism, all art, all pictures, could be 'read' by anybody. If this hadn't been so, the Christian message wouldn't have been seen by peasants and its importance would have been diminished. (David Hockney)
Cubism is like standing at a certain point on a mountain and looking around. If you go higher, things will look different; if you go lower, again they will look different. It is a point of view. (Jacques Lipchitz)
In Cubism, in the end what was important is what one wanted to do, the intention one had. And that one cannot paint. (Pablo Picasso)
The goal I proposed myself in making cubism? To paint and nothing more... with a method linked only to my thought... Neither the good nor the true; neither the useful nor the useless. (Pablo Picasso)
Cubism came about because, in the process of analyzing form, something that lay in the form, a plane, could be lifted out to float on its own... (Joseph Plaskett)
-wife of Pablo Picasso...
If my husband ever met a woman on the street who looked like one of his paintings he would faint. (Jacqueline Roque)
