'The best of the still-lifes is one of a rag-doll and sombrerito against my black and grey sarape from Texcoco. I satisfy my desire to make calculated arrangements by still-life: it used to be an attempt to introduce life into a preconceived placing of studio properties, - pictures, pots, and what not, - always forced, though I was better than my co-workers in creating these artificialities. Now I am content to take life as I find it.' (Daybooks, 28 décembre 1925, p. 144.)
