More quotes by Pablo Picasso

Image
Art is the best possible introduction to the culture of the world. I love it for the buried hopes, the garnered memories, the tender feelings it can summon at a touch. It washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If you know exactly what you're going to do, what's the good in doing it?
Pablo Picasso
Image
The people who make art their business are mostly imposters.
Pablo Picasso
Image
A good picture, any picture, has to be bristling with razor blades.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The best calculation is the absence of calculation. Once you have attained a certain level of recognition, others generally figure that when you do something, it's for an intelligent reason. So it's really foolish to plot out your movements too carefully in advance. You're better off acting capriciously.
Pablo Picasso
Image
They are not men, they are not women, they are Americans.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When I was a kid I drew like Michelangelo. It took me years to learn to draw like a kid.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.
Pablo Picasso
Image
All art is subversive.
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
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
Image
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
Image
If everybody is looking for it, then nobody is finding it. If we were cultured, we would not be conscious of lacking culture. We would regard it as something natural and would not make so much fuss about it. And if we knew the real value of this word we would be cultured enough not to give it so much importance.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When I paint I feel that all the artists of the past are behind me.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Don't waste your youth growing up.
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.

The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.
