Image
I am a communist and my painting is a communist painting. But if I were a shoemaker, Royalist or Communist or anything else, I would not necessarily hammer my shoes in any special way to show my politics.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When you're really young, you're young for life.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When you are young and without success, you have only a few friends. Then, later on, when you are rich and famous, you still have a few... if you are lucky.
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
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
Image
There ought to be an absolute dictatorship... a dictatorship of painters... a dictatorship of one painter... to suppress all those who have betrayed us.
Pablo Picasso
Image
It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Painting isn't an aesthetic operation it's a form of magic designed as mediator between this strange hostile world and us.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To know what you’re going to draw, you have to begin drawing... When I find myself facing a blank page, that’s always going through my head. What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.
Pablo Picasso
Image
You have to start somewhere. You can always erase reality later on.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The revolutionary artist does not only focus on the negative aspects of capitalist lives, but also creates visions of a revolutionary future.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I don't say everything, but I paint everything.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is a leap into the dark.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
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
Image
One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite - that particular peach is but a detail.
Pablo Picasso
Image
For my part, I can't do anything else but what I am doing.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I don't know in advance what I am going to put on canvas any more than I decide beforehand what colours I am going to use.
Pablo Picasso

Art is lies that tell the truth.
