Photography has arrived at the point where it is capable of liberating painting from all literature, from the anecdote, and even from the subject.

Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The secret of many of my deformations - which many people do not understand - is that there is an interaction, an intereffect between the lines in a painting: one line attracts the other and at the point of maximum attraction the lines curve in toward the attracting point and form is altered.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
Something sacred, that's it. We ought to be able to say that such and such a painting is as it is, with its capacity for power, because it is touched by God.
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.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The Parthenon is really only a farmyard over which someone put a roof colonades and sculptures were added because there were people in Athens who happened to be working and wanted to express themselves.

The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.
Pablo Picasso
Image
So there's only one tactic for the state: kill the seers.
Pablo Picasso
Image
In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.

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.
