More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Sculpture is the best comment that a painter can make on painting.
Pablo Picasso
There's no such thing as a bad Picasso, but some are less good than others.
Pablo Picasso
To me there is no past or future in my art. If a work of art cannot live always in the present it must not be considered at all. The art of the Greeks, of the Egyptians, of the great painters who lived in other times, is not an art of the past perhaps it is more alive today than it ever was.
Pablo Picasso
You're either a goddess ... or a doormat.
Pablo Picasso
Museums are just a lot of lies, and the people who make art their business are mostly imposters. We have infected the pictures in museums with all our stupidities, all our mistakes, all our poverty of spirit. We have turned them into petty and ridiculous things.
Pablo Picasso
The connoisseur of painting gives only bad advice to the painter. For that reason I have given up trying to judge myself.
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
There ought to be an absolute dictatorship... a dictatorship of painters... a dictatorship of one painter... to suppress all those who have betrayed us.
Pablo Picasso
What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.
Pablo Picasso
The quality of a painter depends on the amount of past he carries with him.
Pablo Picasso
Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.
Pablo Picasso
I paint the way some people write an autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary.
Pablo Picasso
The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.
Pablo Picasso
Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.
Pablo Picasso
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
Pablo Picasso
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso
I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.
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 Parthenon is really only a farmyard over which someone put a roof colonades and sculptures were added because there were people in Athens who happened to be working and wanted to express themselves.
Pablo Picasso
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.
