More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.
Pablo Picasso
Different themes inevitably require different methods of expression. This does not imply either evolution or progress it is a matter of following the idea one wants to express and the way in which one wants to express it.
Pablo Picasso
A good picture, any picture, has to be bristling with razor blades.
Pablo Picasso
If I like it, I say it's mine. If I don't I say it's a fake.
Pablo Picasso
Art is not truth art is the lie which makes us see the truth.
Pablo Picasso
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
The painter goes through states of fullness and evaluation. That is the whole secret of art.
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
When I paint I feel that all the artists of the past are behind me.
Pablo Picasso
When there's dust missing here or there, it's because someone has touched my things. I see immediately someone has been there. And it's because I live constantly with dust, in dust, that I prefer to wear gray suits, the only color on which it leaves no trace.
Pablo Picasso
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
Pablo Picasso
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
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
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
A picture is not thought out and settled beforehand. While it is being done it changes as one's thoughts change.
Pablo Picasso
I do not evolve, I am.
Pablo Picasso
One cannot be a sorcerer all the time. How could one live?
Pablo Picasso
To model an object is to possess it.
Pablo Picasso
I'm always doing things I can't do. That's how I get to do them.
Pablo Picasso
When we did Cubist paintings, our intention was not to produce Cubist paintings but to express what was within us. No one laid down a course of action for us, and our friends the poets followed our endeavour attentively but they never dictated it to us.
Pablo Picasso
