Image
I have discovered photography. Now I can kill myself. I have nothing else to learn.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When I haven't any blue I use red.
Pablo Picasso
Image
It is a well-known fact that we see the faults in other's works more readily than we do in our own.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Today, as you know, I am famous and very rich. But when I am alone with myself, I haven't the 'courage' to consider myself an artist, in the great and ancient sense of that word... I am only a public entertainer, who understands his age.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I don't know in advance what I am going to put on canvas any more than I decide beforehand what colours I am going to use.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Everyone wants to understand art. Why don't we try to understand the song of a bird? Why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
Pablo Picasso
Image
By amusing myself with all these games, all this nonsense, all these picture puzzles, I became famous... I am only a public entertainer who has understood his time.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?
Pablo Picasso
Image
To be young, really young, takes a very long time.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To model an object is to possess it.
Pablo Picasso
Image
No doubt, it is useful for an artist to know all the forms of art which have preceded or which accompany his. That is a sign of strength if it is a question of looking for a stimulus or recognizing mistakes he must avoid.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Through education comes understanding. Through understanding comes true appreciation. All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Computers are stupid.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The artist spends the first part of his life with the dead, the second with the living, and the third with himself.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When you see what you express through photography, you realize all the things that can no longer be the objectives of painting. Why should an artist persist in treating subjects that can be established so clearly with the lens of a camera?
Pablo Picasso
Image
The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting. And the dust that falls on it every day remains there. Everything that's come down to us from the past has been conserved by dust.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I hate that aesthetic game of the eye and the mind, played by these connoisseurs, these mandarins who appreciate beauty. What is beauty, anyway? There's no such thing. I never appreciate, any more than I like. I love it or I hate.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.
