Like people, trees are all individuals.

I'm not antisocial. I like people.

I had always planned to make a large painting of the early spring, when the first leaves are at the bottom of the trees, and they seem to float in space in a wonderful way. But the arrival of spring can't be done in one picture.

Cubism was an attack on the perspective that had been known and used for 500 years. It was the first big, big change. It confused people: they said, 'Things don't look like that!'

I'm a very early riser, and I don't like to miss that beautiful early morning light.

I think cubism has not fully been developed. It is treated like a style, pigeonholed and that's it.
