Picasso spoke of "Las Meninas", "Suppose that someone wants to simply copy the" Las Meninas. " If the job I was taken, then it would come a time when I would have said to himself, which will, if I put this character to the right or to the left? And I have tried to make the movement in my way, not particularly caring about Velasquez. Such an attempt would certainly lead me to the point to change the lighting, or place it in another way, as I moved the character. Thus, little by little I was able to make a picture - "Las Meninas" - which for the artist-copyist would be unsatisfactory; it would not be "Las Meninas" what he sees them on the canvas Velázquez, it would be my "Las Meninas" »
