Past Masters: Picasso Speaks, 1923

From Picasso: His art in 1980 by Alfred H. Bar Jr. 50 years, Arno Press, New York

The next [excerpt] sentence is written as Marius de Zayas in Spanish. Picasso's manuscript of de Zayas was translated into English and approved by The Arts headline "Picasso Speaks" (New York, May 1923).

Understanding the importance of the term research related to modern painting is difficult. In my opinion, the search has no meaning in paintings. To find it, that is it. If someone is not interested in chasing people, his eyes gaze at the ground and spend his life looking for a wallet to be placed on his way. Even if it is not finding something to find it, regardless of what it is, at least we cause our curiosity, unless it is our praise

The crime I have been sued is not worse than what I have. The goal when drawing is not what you want, but to show what you have found. In art, as I said in Spanish the intention is not enough. Love must be proved by fact, not rational proof. Not intentional, it is important that people do

We all know that art is not true. Art is a truth to us, at least a lie that makes us realize the truth we understand. Artists need to know how to persuade others to tell lies. If he only searches his work for searching and re-searching to abandon a lie, he will not be able to do anything.

Research ideas often lead to misleading paintings, and artists are devoted to spiritual insight. Probably this is the main mistake of contemporary art. The research spirit is unacceptable as it attempts to harm people who do not fully understand all positive and decisive factors in contemporary art and to make them depict invisible ones

They talk about naturalism opposing contemporary paintings. I'd like to know if someone has seen a natural art work. Nature and art are two different things, it is impossible to become one thing. Through art, we express concepts that are not about nature.

He entered Boston's new design school and illustrator in 1923 and carefully examined works of modern masters such as Cezanne, Picasso, and Picasso. Around this time, an up-and-coming painter was named after Arshile Gorky, borrowing the surname of the Russian author Maxim Gorky (itself is a pseudonym) and that the scholars tried to tie themselves with creative classics I suggested. . In 1929 Davis met Gorky, stating his presence as "impressive", Gorky's "black velvet hat turned down", the quality improved (and wondered). De Kooning believes that Gorky is his mentor He is aware of the artist's artistic history and his understanding of their creative group's impact. "He knows more about painting and art, and understand things."

In 1923, Picasso talked about American critic named Marius Dezayas and Cubism. The discussion was translated (with his approval) and published in the industry as "Picasso Speech". Picasso is really talking about Cubism, and he is not in the "research" level in the picture. This is part of it: We all know that art is not true. Art is a truth to us, at least a lie that makes us realize the truth we understand. Artists need to know how to persuade others to tell lies. If he only searches his work for searching and re-searching to abandon a lie, he will not be able to do anything.

All art is art, and should not be dismissed. In "Statement to Marius De Zayas in 1923", Picasso argued that art must convince people about their authenticity. Picasso defended the art of Cubism in his article. As Cubism resembles many other types of art, most people do not understand it. But Cubism is no different than the art that some people like and understand - it shares the same principles and elements with all other types of art. Picasso cited an example of reading a book in English to the reader and explained his argument. He said that reading books has no meaning, but that does not mean there is no English. He said that no one should be held responsible for what he does not understand well. Picasso believes that art should not be said that art is not the only thing because art does not understand art.
