More quotes by Pablo Picasso
If you know exactly what you're going to do, what's the good in doing it?
Pablo Picasso
It is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.
Pablo Picasso
Love must be proven by facts and not by reasons.
Pablo Picasso
An artist must be very careful not to look for models. As soon as one artist takes another as model, he is lost. There is no other point of departure than reality.
Pablo Picasso
Whether he wants it or not, man is the instrument of nature she imposes on him character and appearance.
Pablo Picasso
The essential in this time of moral poverty is to create enthusiasm.
Pablo Picasso
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
There are chemists who spend their whole lives trying to find out what's in a lump of sugar. I want to know one thing. What is color?
Pablo Picasso
For me painting is a dramatic action in the course of which reality finds itself split apart
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
It is important to remember that great things have no fear of time. We've got to let go of the idea that what we want to manifest has to be done on our time schedule.
Pablo Picasso
This idea of art for art's sake is a hoax.
Pablo Picasso
The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting. And the dust that falls on it every day remains there. Everything that's come down to us from the past has been conserved by dust.
Pablo Picasso
To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.
Pablo Picasso
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
The only thing that's important is the legend created by the picture, and not whether it continues to exist itself.
Pablo Picasso
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
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
The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Pablo Picasso
You see these thick curtains shut out the daylight: artificial light suits me a great deal better it's absolutely steady, and much more exciting.
Pablo Picasso
