6. Picasso on Cubism… “Cubism is no different from any other school of painting. The same principles and the same elements are common to all. The fact that for a long time Cubism has not been understood…means nothing. I do not read English, (but) this does not mean that the English language does not exist, and why should I blame anybody…but myself if I cannot understand (it)?”
