More quotes by Pablo Picasso
I paint the way some people write an autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary.
Pablo Picasso
What do you think an artist is? ...he is a political being, constantly aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.
Pablo Picasso
Sculpture is the art of the intelligence.
Pablo Picasso
The painter goes through states of fullness and evaluation. That is the whole secret of art.
Pablo Picasso
What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.
Pablo Picasso
If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.
Pablo Picasso
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
Pablo Picasso
Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing?
Pablo Picasso
We didn't want to sign the painting itself, that would have interfered with the composition. And even later, for that reason or for another, I sometimes marked my canvases on the back. If you don't see my signature and the date, madam, it's because the frame is hiding it.
Pablo Picasso
I must keep on trying, just to keep the experiment going until I get tired of it all. Even if the last result is not necessarily the best, I stop when my interest in the problem wanes.
Pablo Picasso
Now there is fame! Of all - hunger, misery, the incomprehension by the public - fame is by far the worst. It is the castigation of God by the artist. It is sad. It is true.
Pablo Picasso
Art is lies that tell the truth.
Pablo Picasso
For me, there are two kinds of women - goddesses and doormats.
Pablo Picasso
The secret of many of my deformations - which many people do not understand - is that there is an interaction, an intereffect between the lines in a painting: one line attracts the other and at the point of maximum attraction the lines curve in toward the attracting point and form is altered.
Pablo Picasso
Why assume that to look is to see?
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 quality of a painter depends on the amount of past he carries with him.
Pablo Picasso
This idea of art for art's sake is a hoax.
Pablo Picasso
I understand my own pictures best six months after I have done them.
Pablo Picasso
Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.
Pablo Picasso
