Image
The revolutionary artist does not only focus on the negative aspects of capitalist lives, but also creates visions of a revolutionary future.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Pablo Picasso
Image
For a long time I limited myself to one colour - as a form of discipline.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
Lord, protect me from what I want!
Pablo Picasso
Image
Titian, Rembrandt and Goya were the great painters. I am only a public clown.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Everybody has the same energy potential. The average person wastes his in a dozen little ways. I bring mine to bear on one thing only: my paintings, and everything else is sacrificed to it...myself included.
Pablo Picasso
Image
There's nothing worse than a brilliant beginning.

Pablo Picasso
Image
You see these thick curtains shut out the daylight: artificial light suits me a great deal better it's absolutely steady, and much more exciting.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Almost every evening, either I went to [Georges] Braque's studio or Braque came to mine. Each of us had to see what the other had done during the day. We criticized each other's work. A canvas wasn't finished unless both of us felt it was.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is not truth art is the lie which makes us see the truth.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
Go and do the things you can't. That is how you get to do them.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To be young, really young, takes a very long time.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Action is the foundation of all success.
Pablo Picasso
Image
What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.
Pablo Picasso

Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?
