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.

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
Image
To me there is no past or future in my art. If a work of art cannot live always in the present it must not be considered at all. The art of the Greeks, of the Egyptians, of the great painters who lived in other times, is not an art of the past perhaps it is more alive today than it ever was.

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
Races and religions may have changed, but the marketplace, the living quarters, pilgrimage sites, places of worship, have remained the same. Venus is replaced by the Virgin, but the same life goes on.
Pablo Picasso
Image
So there's only one tactic for the state: kill the seers.

Image
One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite - that particular peach is but a detail.
Pablo Picasso
Image
You're either a goddess ... or a doormat.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
For me painting is a dramatic action in the course of which reality finds itself split apart
Pablo Picasso
Image
The connoisseur of painting gives only bad advice to the painter. For that reason I have given up trying to judge myself.

Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.

If all the ways I have been along were marked on a map and joined up with a line, it might represent a minotaur.
