More quotes by Pablo Picasso
The important thing is to create. Nothing else matters creation is all.
Pablo Picasso
A painter paints to unload himself of feelings and visions.
Pablo Picasso
For me painting is a dramatic action in the course of which reality finds itself split apart
Pablo Picasso
When you start with a portrait and try to find pure form by abstracting more and more, you must end up with an egg.
Pablo Picasso
Art is a finger up the bourgeoisie ass.
Pablo Picasso
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
The different styles I have been using in my art must not be seen as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting. Everything I have ever made was made for the present and with the hope that it would always remain in the present.
Pablo Picasso
Formerly pictures used to move towards completion in progressive stages. Each day would bring something new. A picture was a sum of additions. With me, picture is a sum of destructions. I do a picture, then I destroy it. But in the long run nothing is lost the red that I took away from one place turns up somewhere else.
Pablo Picasso
I understand my own pictures best six months after I have done them.
Pablo Picasso
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.
Pablo Picasso
I consider a work of art as a product of calculations, calculations that are frequently unknown to the author himself.
Pablo Picasso
Even if the painting is green, well then! The 'subject' is the green. There is always a subject it's a joke to suppress the subject, it's impossible.
Pablo Picasso
When you're really young, you're young for life.
Pablo Picasso
The secret of many of my deformations - which many people do not understand - is that there is an interaction, an intereffect between the lines in a painting: one line attracts the other and at the point of maximum attraction the lines curve in toward the attracting point and form is altered.
Pablo Picasso
What I achieve the first day can be perfectly valid, but it is not satisfying. If I can go that far spontaneously, then I must shed that result as an old skin and inquire further into the unknown, or at least the not-yet-known-to-myself.
Pablo Picasso
The more technique you have, the less you have to worry about it. The more technique there is, the less there is.
Pablo Picasso
Painting isn't made for the decoration of apartments it is a weapon to be used offensively and defensively against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
When they say that I am too old to make a thing, I try to make it immediately.
Pablo Picasso
Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.
Pablo Picasso
You don't make art, you find it
Pablo Picasso
