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.

I do things I don't know how to do in order to learn how to do them.
Pablo Picasso
Image
They'll sell you thousands of greens. Veronese green and emerald green and cadmium green and any sort of green you like but that particular green, never.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The important thing is to create. Nothing else matters creation is all.

Almost every evening, either I went to [Georges] Braque's studio or Braque came to mine. Each of us had to see what the other had done during the day. We criticized each other's work. A canvas wasn't finished unless both of us felt it was.

Good designers copy great designers steal.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Enough of Art. It's Art that kills us. People no longer want to do painting: they make art.
Pablo Picasso
Image
What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When you see what you express through photography, you realize all the things that can no longer be the objectives of painting. Why should an artist persist in treating subjects that can be established so clearly with the lens of a camera?
Pablo Picasso
Image
A good picture, any picture, has to be bristling with razor blades.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Good taste is the enemy of creativity.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If I knew what the meaning of art was, I wouldn't tell you.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The painter goes through states of fullness and evaluation. That is the whole secret of art.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I understand my own pictures best six months after I have done them.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is a lie that makes us realise truth ... that is given us to understand.
