More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Everyone wants to understand art. Why don't we try to understand the song of a bird? Why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand.
Pablo Picasso
The fingerprints of the god who amused himself fashioning them - I can see them on any bone whatsoever.
Pablo Picasso
A painting is not thought out in advance. While it is being done, it changes as one’s thoughts change. And when it’s finished, it goes on changing, according to the state of mind of whoever is looking at it
Pablo Picasso
Have you noticed that bones are always modeled and not carved, that you always have the impression they come from a mold, that they were first modeled in clay? Any bone you look at, you always find fingerprints on it.
Pablo Picasso
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
You can go to the moon or walk under the sea, or anything else you like, but painting remains painting because it eludes such investigation. It remains there like a question. And it alone gives the answer.
Pablo Picasso
I have never made radically different experiments. Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should.
Pablo Picasso
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso
They are not men, they are not women, they are Americans.
Pablo Picasso
Drawing is a kind of hypnotism: one looks in such a way at the model, that he comes and takes a seat on the paper.
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
A painter paints to unload himself of feelings and visions.
Pablo Picasso
It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.
Pablo Picasso
Reality is to be found in lightness and darkness.
Pablo Picasso
In life you throw a ball. You hope it will reach a wall and bounce back so you can throw it again. You hope your friends will provide that wall.
Pablo Picasso
If I were to sign it now, I'd be committing forgery. I'd be putting my 1943 signature on a canvas painted in 1922.
Pablo Picasso
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
Pablo Picasso
The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Pablo Picasso
It's a poor artist who borrows--a good artist steals.
Pablo Picasso
If I like it, I say it's mine. If I don't I say it's a fake.
Pablo Picasso
