Quote

Everybody has the same energy potential. The average person wastes his in a dozen little ways. I bring mine to bear on one thing only: my paintings, and everything else is sacrificed to it...myself included.

If it's good, it's mine. If it's bad, it's a fake.
Pablo Picasso
Image
It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When you start with a portrait and try to find pure form by abstracting more and more, you must end up with an egg.
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
I have never made radically different experiments. Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When I paint I feel that all the artists of the past are behind me.
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.
Pablo Picasso
Image
People want Art. And they are given it. But the less Art there is in painting the more painting there is.
Pablo Picasso
Image
What I achieve the first day can be perfectly valid, but it is not satisfying. If I can go that far spontaneously, then I must shed that result as an old skin and inquire further into the unknown, or at least the not-yet-known-to-myself.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Lord, protect me from what I want!
Pablo Picasso
Image
When I was a kid I drew like Michelangelo. It took me years to learn to draw like a kid.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I have discovered photography. Now I can kill myself. I have nothing else to learn.
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
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
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.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!
Pablo Picasso
Image
For me painting is a dramatic action in the course of which reality finds itself split apart
Pablo Picasso
Image
Go and do the things you can't. That is how you get to do them.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is not chaste. Those ill prepared should be allowed no contact with art. Art is dangerous. If it is chaste, it is not art.
