More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Art is a leap into the dark.
Pablo Picasso
Every now and then one paints a picture that seems to have opened a door and serves as a stepping stone to other things.
Pablo Picasso
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
Forcing yourself to use restricted means is the sort of restraint that liberates invention. It obliges you to make a kind of progress that you can't even imagine in advance.
Pablo Picasso
The people who make art their business are mostly imposters.
Pablo Picasso
If you are a genius and unsuccessful, everybody treats you as if you were a genius, but when you come to be successful, when you commence to earn money, when you are really successful, then your family and everybody no longer treats you like a genius, they treat you like a man who has become successful.
Pablo Picasso
It's a poor artist who borrows--a good artist steals.
Pablo Picasso
The people no longer seek consolation in art. But the refined people, the rich, the idlers seek the new, the extraordinary, the extravagant, the scandalous.
Pablo Picasso
The essential in this time of moral poverty is to create enthusiasm.
Pablo Picasso
Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.
Pablo Picasso
Paradise is to love many things with a passion.
Pablo Picasso
The only thing that's important is the legend created by the picture, and not whether it continues to exist itself.
Pablo Picasso
Art is lies that tell the truth.
Pablo Picasso
It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.
Pablo Picasso
Photography has arrived at the point where it is capable of liberating painting from all literature, from the anecdote, and even from the subject. In any case, a certain aspect of the subject now belongs to the domain of photography. So shouldn't painters profit from their newly acquired liberty, and make use of it to do other things?
Pablo Picasso
If I knew what the meaning of art was, I wouldn't tell you.
Pablo Picasso
There's nothing worse than a brilliant beginning.
Pablo Picasso
When I enter the studio, I leave my body at the door the way the Moslems leave their shoes when they enter the mosque, and I only allow my spirit to go in there and paint.
Pablo Picasso
Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?
Pablo Picasso
Go and do the things you can't. That is how you get to do them.
Pablo Picasso
