Don't waste your youth growing up.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When I haven't any blue I use red.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When you see what you express through photography, you realize all the things that can no longer be the objectives of painting. Why should an artist persist in treating subjects that can be established so clearly with the lens of a camera?
Pablo Picasso
Image
The artist spends the first part of his life with the dead, the second with the living, and the third with himself.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Each time I undertake to paint a picture I have a sensation of leaping into space. I never know whether I shall fall on my feet. It is only later that I begin to estimate more exactly the the effect of my work.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The important thing is to create. Nothing else matters creation is all.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.

The essential in this time of moral poverty is to create enthusiasm.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is a leap into the dark.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The quality of a painter depends on the amount of past he carries with him.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso
Image
The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting.
Pablo Picasso
Image
You don't make art, you find it
Pablo Picasso
Image
No doubt, it is useful for an artist to know all the forms of art which have preceded or which accompany his. That is a sign of strength if it is a question of looking for a stimulus or recognizing mistakes he must avoid.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Go and do the things you can't. That is how you get to do them.
Pablo Picasso
Image
A good picture, any picture, has to be bristling with razor blades.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If everybody is looking for it, then nobody is finding it. If we were cultured, we would not be conscious of lacking culture. We would regard it as something natural and would not make so much fuss about it. And if we knew the real value of this word we would be cultured enough not to give it so much importance.
