More quotes by Pablo Picasso

Image
I try to paint what I have found and not what I look for. In art, intentions are of little importance.
Pablo Picasso
Image
For a long time I limited myself to one colour - as a form of discipline.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Races and religions may have changed, but the marketplace, the living quarters, pilgrimage sites, places of worship, have remained the same. Venus is replaced by the Virgin, but the same life goes on.
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
If I don't have red, I use blue.
Pablo Picasso
Image
So there's only one tactic for the state: kill the seers.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I do things I don't know how to do in order to learn how to do them.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
To know what you’re going to draw, you have to begin drawing... When I find myself facing a blank page, that’s always going through my head. What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The painter goes through states of fullness and evaluation. That is the whole secret of art.
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.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The essential in this time of moral poverty is to create enthusiasm.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Because I cannot work except in solitude, it is necessary that I live my work and that is impossible except in solitude.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I paint the way some people write an autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!
Pablo Picasso
Image
To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To be young, really young, takes a very long time.
Pablo Picasso
Image
There is only one way to see things, until someone shows us how to look at them with different eyes

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.
