More quotes by 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
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
Drink to me. Drink to my health. You know I can't drink any more.
Pablo Picasso
I hate that aesthetic game of the eye and the mind, played by these connoisseurs, these mandarins who appreciate beauty. What is beauty, anyway? There's no such thing. I never appreciate, any more than I like. I love it or I hate.
Pablo Picasso
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
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
Photography has arrived at the point where it is capable of liberating painting from all literature, from the anecdote, and even from the subject. In any case, a certain aspect of the subject now belongs to the domain of photography. So shouldn't painters profit from their newly acquired liberty, and make use of it to do other things?
Pablo Picasso
When you're really young, you're young for life.
Pablo Picasso
Art is not truth art is the lie which makes us see the truth.
Pablo Picasso
Nature does many things the way I do, but she hides them!
Pablo Picasso
I do things I don't know how to do in order to learn how to do them.
Pablo Picasso
One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite - that particular peach is but a detail.
Pablo Picasso
We have a lot of reasons but only one real one.
Pablo Picasso
Rhythm is a perception of time... when drawing, the tiredness of the hand is a rhythm.
Pablo Picasso
The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting.
Pablo Picasso
Even if the painting is green, well then! The 'subject' is the green. There is always a subject it's a joke to suppress the subject, it's impossible.
Pablo Picasso
If I had known there was such a thing as Islamic Calligraphy, I would never have started to paint. I have strived to reach the highest levels of artistic mastery, but I found that Islamic Calligraphy was there ages before I was.
Pablo Picasso
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
Pablo Picasso
Beauty? To me it is a word without sense because I do not know where its meaning comes from nor where it leads to.
Pablo Picasso
In life you throw a ball. You hope it will reach a wall and bounce back so you can throw it again. You hope your friends will provide that wall.
Pablo Picasso
