Gedanken zur «Kunst» des 20. Jahrhunderts, von Picasso – eine Art Bankrotterklärung zur modernen Kunst:
«The time to look to Art for comfort and exaltation is past, but the over-refined, the rich and the busybodies trying to extract conclusive wisdom out of everything always hope to find something new, unique and unusual. Since the days of cubism and later I have endeavoured to satisfy these lovers and critics with those freakish ideas passing through my head and the less they understood the more they marvelled at me. While I amused myself with this sort of game I became famous and rich and that very quickly too. But when I am alone with myself I have no courage to consider myself an artist in the great and worthy sense. I am just a public joker who gained an insight into his days and has succeeded in exploiting the stupidity, vanity and avidity of his contemporaries. Of course my confession is bitter and painful but at least it has the advantage of being an honest one.»
Written to his friend G. Pagin, published in the magazine Von Atelier Zu Atelier 1953, No. 5 and later re-published in the Munich Süddeutsche Zeitung in December 1955.
