He had a light grey business suit, a blue cotton shirt and a dark grey tie on. There was a light green handkerchief in his breast pocket. His hands were small and strong. I introduced myself and Picasso shook my hand immediately. He had a soft, sincere smile which made me feel calm. пусто I admitted that I had always been interested in his work. I said that at his recent exhibition I had suddenly realised what he wanted to say. I wanted to make his acquaintance and to ask him if my understanding of his paintings was correct. If it was, I said, I wanted to write about the paintings on return to America. пусто Then I presented my analysis of his painting ‘The Sailor’ to Picasso. I wondered whether the sailor’s suit, the net and the red butterfly showed Picasso as a person in search of a better world. He listened attentively and when I finally stopped, he said: ‘Yes. It’s me, but I did not mean it to have any political meaning at all.’ пусто I was interested if he saw himself as a leader. Picasso gave a thoughtful nod and confirmed: ‘Yes, I realize it.’ I described how me and my friends back in New York used to exchange our views on his work, especially the ‘Guernica’ painting, his most famous painting. I analysed the symbolism of the bull and the horse. Picasso kept nodding. ‘Yes,’ he said ‘the bull represents brutality, the horse the people. Yes, there I used symbolism.’ пусто I tried to find out why he painted in such a way that it was so difficult for people to understand. ‘I paint this way,’ he replied, ‘because it’s the result of my thought. I have worked for years to get this result and if I go backward it will be disrespectful towards the audience.’ пусто ‘It is quite impossible,’ he continued, ‘to say for sure why you do this or that. I reveal my ideas through painting and I can’t explain them through words. I can’t say exactly why I did it that way. For me, if I sketch a little table, I see every detail. I see the size and the thickness, and I express it in my own language.’
