"Picasso was wild about it and said it was one of the best things I have ever made."
"The spectacle of the sky overwhelms me. I'm overwhelmed when I see, in an immense sky, the crescent of the moon, or the sun. There, in my pictures, tiny forms in huge empty spaces. Empty spaces, empty horizons, empty plains - everything which is bare has always greatly impressed me."
"rubbing in with a handful of straw, with a rag, a scrubbing brush, a Majorcan brush for applying white, with the hand, etc.. .. gigantic rhythm like that of a waterfall cascading down a mountainside.. .. pure signs begun in Varensgeville and finished in Palma.. .. blue vitriol that they use for the vines and that splashes against the walls of the farmhouse.. ."
"Thirty five years ago.. ..Sandy Louisa came to see me at Montroig, where I conceived the farm , where the trees, the mountains, the sky, the house, the vineyards, have remained the same. There where the mules have always eaten carobs, and where we have the same warming red wine. Well then, one day I invited all my neighbours, the farmers and workmen of the district to see the Circus that Calder had brought. Everyone was transfixed and totally overwhelmed by it."
