Works Quotes

In 1915 Sophie Tauber and I carried out our first works in the simplest forms, using painting, embroidery and pasted paper without using oil colors to avoid any reference with usual painting. These were probably the first manifestations of their kind, pictures that were their own reality, without meaning or cerebral intention. We rejected everything in the nature of a copy or a description, in order to give free flow to what was elemental and spontaneous.
