More quotes by 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
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
Pablo Picasso
The important thing is to create. Nothing else matters creation is all.
Pablo Picasso
Drawing is a kind of hypnotism: one looks in such a way at the model, that he comes and takes a seat on the paper.
Pablo Picasso
I want to create a cat like the real cats I see crossing the streets, not like those you see in houses. They have nothing in common. The cat of the streets has bristling fur. It runs like a fiend, and if it looks at you, you think it is going to jump in your face.
Pablo Picasso
You don't make art, you find it
Pablo Picasso
Why assume that to look is to see?
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
There is only one way to see things, until someone shows us how to look at them with different eyes
Pablo Picasso
We have a lot of reasons but only one real one.
Pablo Picasso
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Pablo Picasso
This idea of art for art's sake is a hoax.
Pablo Picasso
It's a poor artist who borrows--a good artist steals.
Pablo Picasso
Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?
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 consider a work of art as a product of calculations, calculations that are frequently unknown to the author himself.
Pablo Picasso
The painter goes through states of fullness and evaluation. That is the whole secret of art.
Pablo Picasso
The different styles I have been using in my art must not be seen as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting. Everything I have ever made was made for the present and with the hope that it would always remain in the present.
Pablo Picasso
I am a communist and my painting is a communist painting. But if I were a shoemaker, Royalist or Communist or anything else, I would not necessarily hammer my shoes in any special way to show my politics.
Pablo Picasso
The people who make art their business are mostly imposters.
