Image
The best calculation is the absence of calculation. Once you have attained a certain level of recognition, others generally figure that when you do something, it's for an intelligent reason. So it's really foolish to plot out your movements too carefully in advance. You're better off acting capriciously.
Pablo Picasso
Image
In art, practice always comes before theory.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Titian, Rembrandt and Goya were the great painters. I am only a public clown.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Imitators? All right! Disciples if you like. But disciples be damned. It's not interesting.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When they say that I am too old to make a thing, I try to make it immediately.
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 painter goes through states of fullness and evaluation. That is the whole secret of art.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When it comes right down to it, all you have is your self. Your Self is a sun with a thousand rays.
Pablo Picasso
Image
It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.
Pablo Picasso
Image
In art, there is neither past nor future. The art that is not in the present will never be.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Everybody has the same energy potential. The average person wastes his in a dozen little ways. I bring mine to bear on one thing only: my paintings, and everything else is sacrificed to it...myself included.
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
Art is an instrument in the war against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
I'd like to live as a poor man with lots of money.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The only thing that's important is the legend created by the picture, and not whether it continues to exist itself.
Pablo Picasso
Image
A painter paints to unload himself of feelings and visions.
Pablo Picasso
Image
While I am working I am not conscious of what I am putting on the canvas.
