In art intentions are not sufficient and, as we say in Spanish, love must be proved by deeds and not by reasons. What one does is what counts and not what one had the intention of doing.

More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Why assume that to look is to see?
Pablo Picasso
There ought to be an absolute dictatorship... a dictatorship of painters... a dictatorship of one painter... to suppress all those who have betrayed us.
Pablo Picasso
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Pablo Picasso
Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?
Pablo Picasso
I understand my own pictures best six months after I have done them.
Pablo Picasso
I paint the way some people write an autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary.
Pablo Picasso
You see these thick curtains shut out the daylight: artificial light suits me a great deal better it's absolutely steady, and much more exciting.
Pablo Picasso
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
Pablo Picasso
I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.
Pablo Picasso
Everything exists in limited quantity - especially happiness.
Pablo Picasso
One must act in painting as in life, directly.
Pablo Picasso
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.
Pablo Picasso
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
Museums are just a lot of lies, and the people who make art their business are mostly imposters. We have infected the pictures in museums with all our stupidities, all our mistakes, all our poverty of spirit. We have turned them into petty and ridiculous things.
Pablo Picasso
The artist spends the first part of his life with the dead, the second with the living, and the third with himself.
Pablo Picasso
The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting. And the dust that falls on it every day remains there. Everything that's come down to us from the past has been conserved by dust.
Pablo Picasso
The only thing that's important is the legend created by the picture, and not whether it continues to exist itself.
Pablo Picasso
Through education comes understanding. Through understanding comes true appreciation. All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Pablo Picasso
Everyone wants to understand art. Why don't we try to understand the song of a bird? Why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand.
Pablo Picasso
While I am working I am not conscious of what I am putting on the canvas.
Pablo Picasso
