Image
Enough of Art. It's Art that kills us. People no longer want to do painting: they make art.
Pablo Picasso
Image
It is the object which aroused the artist, stimulated his ideas and set of his emotions. These ideas and emotions will be imprisoned in his work for good.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
Painting isn't an aesthetic operation it's a form of magic designed as mediator between this strange hostile world and us.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I do things I don't know how to do in order to learn how to do them.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Painting isn't made for the decoration of apartments it is a weapon to be used offensively and defensively against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I don't say everything, but I paint everything.
Pablo Picasso
Image
What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.
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
To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is not chaste. Those ill prepared should be allowed no contact with art. Art is dangerous. If it is chaste, it is not art.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
There are only two types of women - goddesses and doormats.
Pablo Picasso
Image
What do you think an artist is? ...he is a political being, constantly aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If you can imagine it...it is real
Pablo Picasso
Image
Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?
Pablo Picasso
Image
We didn't want to sign the painting itself, that would have interfered with the composition. And even later, for that reason or for another, I sometimes marked my canvases on the back. If you don't see my signature and the date, madam, it's because the frame is hiding it.
Pablo Picasso
Image
No doubt, it is useful for an artist to know all the forms of art which have preceded or which accompany his. That is a sign of strength if it is a question of looking for a stimulus or recognizing mistakes he must avoid.
