COCTEAU Jean (1889-1963)
On Picasso, autograph
manuscript S.d., 1 page in-8 in ink on paper.
Nice text on the painter.
"Didn't Picasso once speak out against us in Spain with injustice? It doesn't matter. You mustn't ask Picasso for kindness. He is cruel. He hates himself. He hates art, his own paintings.
The secret of his diversity, of his height, is that each time he tries to destroy himself, to surpass himself, to reach what cannot be reached.
Canvas / Veil of deep secret, of his own... bad mood. In short, he would like to be a saint... not... Spanish. And he is mad to paint".
