Why assume that to look is to see?
Pablo Picasso
Image
When you are young and without success, you have only a few friends. Then, later on, when you are rich and famous, you still have a few... if you are lucky.

Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.
Pablo Picasso

The only thing that's important is the legend created by the picture, and not whether it continues to exist itself.

To know what you’re going to draw, you have to begin drawing... When I find myself facing a blank page, that’s always going through my head. What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.
