future, I proclaim today,

to you artists...

Painters, sculptors,

musicians, actors, poets-

to you people to whom art is no

mere ground for conversation,

but the source of

real exultation...

My word and deed.

I have transformed myself

in the zero of form,

and have fished myself

out of the rubbishy sloth

of academic art.

Objects have

vanished like smoke.

I have destroyed the

ring of the horizon,

and gone out of the

circle of objects...

This accursed horizon ring

that has imprisoned the artist,

and leads him away from

the game of destruction.

Forms move and are born.

And we are forever

making new discoveries.

What we discover must

not be concealed.

It is absurd to force our age

into the forms of a bygone age.

Life must be purified of

the clutter of the past

so that it can be brought

to its normal evolution.

Art should not advance towards

abbreviation or simplification,

but towards complexity.

The Venus de Milo is a

graphic example of decline.

It's not a real

woman, but a parody.

Angela's David is a defamation.

All the masters

of the Renaissance

achieved great

results in anatomy.

But they did not achieve

veracity in their impressions

of the body.

Those artists were officials

making an inventory

of nature's property.

The living was turned into

a motionless, dead state.

Come and find me.

Got you.

You're cheating.

Here, we

cast anchor in rich ground.

Ghosts, drunk on energy,

we dig the trident

into unsuspecting flesh.

We are a downpour of

maledictions, as tropically

abundant as

vertiginous vegetation.

Rubber and rain are our sweat.

We bleed and burn.

We thirst.

Our blood is vigor.

I say unto you, there

is no beginning.

And we do not tremble.

We are not sentimental.

We are furious wind, tearing

the dirty linen of clouds

and prayers, preparing the

spectacle of disaster, fire,

decomposition.

We will put an end to

mourning, and replace

tears by sirens screeching

from one continent to another.

Pavilions of intense

joy and widowers

with the sadness of poison.

To lick the penumbra and

float in the big mouth

filled with honey and excrement.

I spread demoralization

wherever I

go, and cast my hand

from heaven to hell,

my eyes from hell to heaven.

One dies as a hero or as an

idiot, which is the same thing.

The only word that is not

ephemeral is the word death.

You probably enjoy life, but

you've got some bad habits.

You're too fond of what you've

been taught to be fond of.

Cemeteries, melancholy,

the tragic lover,

Venetian gondolas.

You shout at the moon.

If you weren't so cowardly,

sinking under the weight of all

those lofty thoughts or

non-existent abstractions
