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.

Image
The more technique you have, the less you have to worry about it. The more technique there is, the less there is.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The people who make art their business are mostly imposters.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If all the ways I have been along were marked on a map and joined up with a line, it might represent a minotaur.
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
Sculpture is the art of the intelligence.
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
Each time I undertake to paint a picture I have a sensation of leaping into space. I never know whether I shall fall on my feet. It is only later that I begin to estimate more exactly the the effect of my work.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Never copy yourself, always copy someone else.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I have never had time for the idea of searching. Whenever I wanted to express something, I did so without thinking of the past or the future.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Painting isn't made for the decoration of apartments it is a weapon to be used offensively and defensively against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
Image
You mustn't expect me to repeat myself. My past doesn't interest me. I would rather copy others than copy myself. In that way I should at least be giving them something new. I love discovering things.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Anything new, anything worth doing, can't be recognized.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I consider a work of art as a product of calculations, calculations that are frequently unknown to the author himself.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?
Pablo Picasso
Image
If you are trying to find something, it means you haven't got it. And if you find it simply by looking for it, that means it's false.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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?
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
Sculpture is the best comment that a painter can make on painting.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Why assume that to look is to see?
Pablo Picasso
Image
I would like to manage to prevent people from ever seeing how a picture of mine has been done. What can it possibly matter? What I want is that the only thing emanating from my pictures should be emotion.
