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.

The essential in this time of moral poverty is to create enthusiasm.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When we did Cubist paintings, our intention was not to produce Cubist paintings but to express what was within us. No one laid down a course of action for us, and our friends the poets followed our endeavour attentively but they never dictated it to us.
Pablo Picasso
Image
You have to start somewhere. You can always erase reality later on.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Love must be proven by facts and not by reasons.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is not truth art is the lie which makes us see the truth.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If I had known there was such a thing as Islamic Calligraphy, I would never have started to paint. I have strived to reach the highest levels of artistic mastery, but I found that Islamic Calligraphy was there ages before I was.

Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?
Pablo Picasso
Image
It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When they say that I am too old to make a thing, I try to make it immediately.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Photography has arrived at the point where it is capable of liberating painting from all literature, from the anecdote, and even from the subject. In any case, a certain aspect of the subject now belongs to the domain of photography. So shouldn't painters profit from their newly acquired liberty, and make use of it to do other things?
Pablo Picasso
Image
There's nothing worse than a brilliant beginning.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Cubism is not a reality you can take in your hand. It's more like a perfume, in front of you, behind you, to the sides, the scent is everywhere but you don’t quite know where it comes from.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Don't waste your youth growing up.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When it comes right down to it, all you have is your self. Your Self is a sun with a thousand rays.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
Art is a finger up the bourgeoisie ass.
Pablo Picasso
Image
There are only two types of women - goddesses and doormats.
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.
