More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Age only matters when one is aging. Now that I have arrived at a great age, I might as well be twenty.
Pablo Picasso
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
I must keep on trying, just to keep the experiment going until I get tired of it all. Even if the last result is not necessarily the best, I stop when my interest in the problem wanes.
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
Beauty? To me it is a word without sense because I do not know where its meaning comes from nor where it leads to.
Pablo Picasso
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.
Pablo Picasso
The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.
Pablo Picasso
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
Pablo Picasso
Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.
Pablo Picasso
If I knew what the meaning of art was, I wouldn't tell you.
Pablo Picasso
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.
Pablo Picasso
One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite - that particular peach is but a detail.
Pablo Picasso
I who have been involved with all styles of painting can assure you that the only things that fluctuate are the waves of fashion which carry the snobs and speculators the number of true connoisseurs remains more or less the same.
Pablo Picasso
Now there is fame! Of all - hunger, misery, the incomprehension by the public - fame is by far the worst. It is the castigation of God by the artist. It is sad. It is true.
Pablo Picasso
Imitators? All right! Disciples if you like. But disciples be damned. It's not interesting.
Pablo Picasso
I understand my own pictures best six months after I have done them.
Pablo Picasso
If you can imagine it...it is real
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
Computers are stupid.
Pablo Picasso
I consider a work of art as a product of calculations, calculations that are frequently unknown to the author himself.
Pablo Picasso
