More From Pablo Picasso

A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. it addresses somebody,that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. that sign which it creates i call the interpretant of the first sign. the sign stands for something, its object. it stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which i have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.

I'm not lacking for enthusiasm as you can see, given that i have something like 65 canvases covered with paint and i'll be needing more since the place is quite out of the ordinary; so i'm going to order some more canvases.

If a thing is old, it is a sign that it was fit to live. old families, old customs, old styles survive because they are fit to survive. the guarantee of continuity is quality. submerge the good in a flood of the new, and good will come back to join the good which the new brings with it. old-fashioned hospitality, old-fashioned politeness, old-fashioned honor in business had qualities of survival. these will come back.
Business Style Survival
We didn't want to sign the painting itself, that would have interfered with the composition. and even later, for that reason or for another, i sometimes marked my canvases on the back. if you don't see my signature and the date, madam, it's because the frame is hiding it.
