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
Paintings are but research and experiment. I never do a painting as a work of art. All of them are researches. I search constantly and there is a logical sequence in all this research.

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.

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?

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?

Image
To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To make oneself hated is more difficult than to make oneself loved.

It takes a long time to become young.

Image
Reality is to be found in lightness and darkness.
Pablo Picasso
Image
An artist must forget painting when he paints. That's the only way he will do original work.
Pablo Picasso
Image
We now know that Art is not the truth... but rather a way of approaching the truth.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
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.
