Other translation:
Abstract art is only painting. And what's so dramatic about that? There is no abstract art. One must always begin with something. Afterwards one can remove all semblance of reality.
Richard Friedenthal (1968, p. 256-7).
Longer version:
Abstract art is only painting. And what's so dramatic about that? There is no abstract art. One must always begin with something. Afterwards one can remove all semblance of reality; there is no longer any danger as the idea of the object has left an indelible imprint. It is the object which aroused the artist, stimulated his ideas and set of his emotions. These ideas and emotions will be imprisoned in his work for good.. .Whether he wants it or not, man is the instrument of nature; she imposes on him character and appearance. In my paintings of Dinard, as in my paintings of Purville, I have given expression to more or less the same vision.. .. You cannot go against nature. She is stronger than the strongest of men. We can permit ourselves some liberties, but in details only (Boisgeloup, winter 1934).

Kontekst: Abstract art is only painting. What about drama?
There is no abstract art. You always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.

As discussed in this entry from Quote Investigator http://quoteinvestigator.com/2011/11/05/computers-useless/#more-2932, the origin seems to be the article &quot;Pablo Picasso: A Composite Interview&quot; by William Fifield which appeared in The Paris Review 32, Summer-Fall 1964, and collected a number of interviews Fifield had done with Picasso. <br class="br">Common later variant: &quot;Computers are useless. They can only give you answers.&quot; This variant seems to have arisen in the 1980s, the earliest known appearance in a book is Herman Feshbach, &quot;Reflections on the Microprocessor Revolution: A Physicist&#x27;s Viewpoint&quot;, in Man and Technology (1983), ed. Bruce M. Adkins, where the attribution is described as &quot;rumoured&quot;. http://books.google.com/books?id=9EohAQAAIAAJ&amp;q=Picasso <br class="br">1960s
