Quote

Art is never chaste. It ought to be forbidden to ignorant innocents, never allowed into contact with those not sufficiently prepared. Yes, art is dangerous. Where it is chaste, it is not art.

More quotes by Pablo Picasso

Image
When you see what you express through photography, you realize all the things that can no longer be the objectives of painting. Why should an artist persist in treating subjects that can be established so clearly with the lens of a camera?
Pablo Picasso
Image
Every positive value has its price in negative terms... the genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
You have to start somewhere. You can always erase reality later on.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The Parthenon is really only a farmyard over which someone put a roof colonades and sculptures were added because there were people in Athens who happened to be working and wanted to express themselves.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Love must be proven by facts and not by reasons.
Pablo Picasso
Image
It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Because I cannot work except in solitude, it is necessary that I live my work and that is impossible except in solitude.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To make oneself hated is more difficult than to make oneself loved.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Beauty? To me it is a word without sense because I do not know where its meaning comes from nor where it leads to.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The people who make art their business are mostly imposters.
Pablo Picasso
Image
A painter paints to unload himself of feelings and visions.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?
Pablo Picasso
Image
I want to get to the stage where nobody can tell how a picture of mine is done. What's the point of that? Simply that I want nothing but emotion given off by it.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Everything exists in limited quantity - especially happiness.
Pablo Picasso
Image
In art intentions are not sufficient and, as we say in Spanish, love must be proved by deeds and not by reasons. What one does is what counts and not what one had the intention of doing.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Formerly pictures used to move towards completion in progressive stages. Each day would bring something new. A picture was a sum of additions. With me, picture is a sum of destructions. I do a picture, then I destroy it. But in the long run nothing is lost the red that I took away from one place turns up somewhere else.

Reality is to be found in lightness and darkness.
