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.

Image
Never copy yourself, always copy someone else.
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
You can go to the moon or walk under the sea, or anything else you like, but painting remains painting because it eludes such investigation. It remains there like a question. And it alone gives the answer.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
Pablo Picasso
Image
There's no such thing as a bad Picasso, but some are less good than others.
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
Drink to me. Drink to my health. You know I can't drink any more.
Pablo Picasso
Image
For me painting is a dramatic action in the course of which reality finds itself split apart
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
If I were to sign it now, I'd be committing forgery. I'd be putting my 1943 signature on a canvas painted in 1922.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If only we could pull out our brain and use only our eyes.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I am always making that what I am not capable, in an attempt to learn how to doing it.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To me there is no past or future in art. If a work of art does not live in the present, it must not be considered at all.
Pablo Picasso
Image
They ought to put out the eyes of painters as they do goldfinches in order that they can sing better.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Painting isn't an aesthetic operation it's a form of magic designed as mediator between this strange hostile world and us.
Pablo Picasso
Image
We now know that Art is not the truth... but rather a way of approaching the truth.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Drawing is a kind of hypnotism: one looks in such a way at the model, that he comes and takes a seat on the paper.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is a lie that makes us realise truth ... that is given us to understand.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To me there is no past or future in my art. If a work of art cannot live always in the present it must not be considered at all. The art of the Greeks, of the Egyptians, of the great painters who lived in other times, is not an art of the past perhaps it is more alive today than it ever was.
