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.

More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?
Pablo Picasso
Action is the foundation of all success.
Pablo Picasso
What do you think an artist is? ...he is a political being, constantly aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.
Pablo Picasso
The fingerprints of the god who amused himself fashioning them - I can see them on any bone whatsoever.
Pablo Picasso
Cubism is not a reality you can take in your hand. It's more like a perfume, in front of you, behind you, to the sides, the scent is everywhere but you don’t quite know where it comes from.
Pablo Picasso
If I like it, I say it's mine. If I don't I say it's a fake.
Pablo Picasso
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
I am exhausted if I don't work.
Pablo Picasso
When I was a kid I drew like Michelangelo. It took me years to learn to draw like a kid.
Pablo Picasso
Why assume that to look is to see?
Pablo Picasso
People don't realize what they have when they own a picture by me. Each picture is a phial with my blood. That is what has gone into it.
Pablo Picasso
Because I cannot work except in solitude, it is necessary that I live my work and that is impossible except in solitude.
Pablo Picasso
They'll sell you thousands of greens. Veronese green and emerald green and cadmium green and any sort of green you like but that particular green, never.
Pablo Picasso
People want to find a 'meaning' in everything and everyone. That's the disease of our age...
Pablo Picasso
I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.
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
Art is an instrument in the war against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
Lord, protect me from what I want!
Pablo Picasso
There's no such thing as a bad Picasso, but some are less good than others.
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
