As far as I am concerned, a painting speaks for itself. What is the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done? A painter has only one language.
Pablo Picasso
Image
We can see the light but we are still inside the tunnel, ... We have not been able to get to all the communities.
Pablo Picasso
Image
We now know that Art is not the truth... but rather a way of approaching the truth.
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
We don't grow older, we grow riper.
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.
