Image
I have never had time for the idea of searching. Whenever I wanted to express something, I did so without thinking of the past or the future.
Pablo Picasso
Image
A painting is not thought out in advance. While it is being done, it changes as one’s thoughts change. And when it’s finished, it goes on changing, according to the state of mind of whoever is looking at it
Pablo Picasso
Image
Nature does many things the way I do, but she hides them!

Image
There's no such thing as a bad Picasso, but some are less good than others.
Pablo Picasso

The painter goes through states of fullness and evaluation. That is the whole secret of art.

Pablo Picasso
Image
Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Sculpture is the best comment that a painter can make on painting.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Today, as you know, I am famous and very rich. But when I am alone with myself, I haven't the 'courage' to consider myself an artist, in the great and ancient sense of that word... I am only a public entertainer, who understands his age.
Pablo Picasso
Image
There are only two types of women - goddesses and doormats.
Pablo Picasso
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.

The essential in this time of moral poverty is to create enthusiasm.
