Image
Every positive value has its price in negative terms... the genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
Pablo Picasso
Image
In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.
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
Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Every now and then one paints a picture that seems to have opened a door and serves as a stepping stone to other things.
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
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
The people who make art their business are mostly imposters.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.
Pablo Picasso
Image
A good picture, any picture, has to be bristling with razor blades.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When the individuality of the artist begins to express itself, what the artist gains in the way of liberty he loses in the way of order.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Almost every evening, either I went to [Georges] Braque's studio or Braque came to mine. Each of us had to see what the other had done during the day. We criticized each other's work. A canvas wasn't finished unless both of us felt it was.
Pablo Picasso
Image
They'll sell you thousands of greens. Veronese green and emerald green and cadmium green and any sort of green you like but that particular green, never.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Never copy yourself, always copy someone else.
Pablo Picasso
Image
We now know that Art is not the truth... but rather a way of approaching the truth.
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
Art is an instrument in the war against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is the best possible introduction to the culture of the world. I love it for the buried hopes, the garnered memories, the tender feelings it can summon at a touch. It washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
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
If you are a genius and unsuccessful, everybody treats you as if you were a genius, but when you come to be successful, when you commence to earn money, when you are really successful, then your family and everybody no longer treats you like a genius, they treat you like a man who has become successful.
