If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Imitators? All right! Disciples if you like. But disciples be damned. It's not interesting.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!
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

It is important to remember that great things have no fear of time. We've got to let go of the idea that what we want to manifest has to be done on our time schedule.
Pablo Picasso
Image
As far as I am concerned, a painting speaks for itself. What is the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done? A painter has only one language.

Pablo Picasso
Image

Pablo Picasso
Image
The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Something sacred, that's it. We ought to be able to say that such and such a painting is as it is, with its capacity for power, because it is touched by God.
Pablo Picasso
Image
They ought to put out the eyes of painters as they do goldfinches in order that they can sing better.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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.

Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?
Pablo Picasso
Image
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
