Many think that cubism is an art of transition, an experiment which is to bring ulterior results. Those who think that way have not understood it. Cubism is not either a seed or a foetus, but an art dealing primarily with forms, and when a form is realized it is there to live its own life. A mineral substance, having geometric formation, is not made so for transitory purposes, it is to remain what it is and will always have its own form.
Even if the painting is green, well then! The subject'is the green. There is always a subject; it's a joke to suppress the subject, it's impossible.

I don't say everything, but I paint everything.

When I haven't any blue I use red.
Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness.
Painting is stronger than I am. It can make me do whatever it wants.
