More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Anything new, anything worth doing, can't be recognized.
Pablo Picasso
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
The important thing is to create. Nothing else matters creation is all.
Pablo Picasso
I who have been involved with all styles of painting can assure you that the only things that fluctuate are the waves of fashion which carry the snobs and speculators the number of true connoisseurs remains more or less the same.
Pablo Picasso
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
I simply painted images of what was before my eyes it is for others to find hidden meaning in them.
Pablo Picasso
We can see the light but we are still inside the tunnel, ... We have not been able to get to all the communities.
Pablo Picasso
In art, practice always comes before theory.
Pablo Picasso
Museums are just a lot of lies, and the people who make art their business are mostly imposters. We have infected the pictures in museums with all our stupidities, all our mistakes, all our poverty of spirit. We have turned them into petty and ridiculous things.
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
The best calculation is the absence of calculation. Once you have attained a certain level of recognition, others generally figure that when you do something, it's for an intelligent reason. So it's really foolish to plot out your movements too carefully in advance. You're better off acting capriciously.
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 chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.
Pablo Picasso
So there's only one tactic for the state: kill the seers.
Pablo Picasso
To make oneself hated is more difficult than to make oneself loved.
Pablo Picasso
People want Art. And they are given it. But the less Art there is in painting the more painting there is.
Pablo Picasso
If it's good, it's mine. If it's bad, it's a fake.
Pablo Picasso
Style is often something which locks the painter into the same vision, the same technique, the same formula during years and years, sometimes during one's whole lifetime.
Pablo Picasso
Drink to me. Drink to my health. You know I can't drink any more.
Pablo Picasso
Art is a finger up the bourgeoisie ass.
Pablo Picasso
