Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
When the individuality of the artist begins to express itself, what the artist gains in the way of liberty he loses in the way of order.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When I enter the studio, I leave my body at the door the way the Moslems leave their shoes when they enter the mosque, and I only allow my spirit to go in there and paint.
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
In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
You have to start somewhere. You can always erase reality later on.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I consider a work of art as a product of calculations, calculations that are frequently unknown to the author himself.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I don't know in advance what I am going to put on canvas any more than I decide beforehand what colours I am going to use.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Action is the foundation of all success.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The painter goes through states of fullness and evaluation. That is the whole secret of art.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I want to get to the stage where nobody can tell how a picture of mine is done. What's the point of that? Simply that I want nothing but emotion given off by it.
Pablo Picasso
Image
People want Art. And they are given it. But the less Art there is in painting the more painting there is.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The different styles I have been using in my art must not be seen as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting. Everything I have ever made was made for the present and with the hope that it would always remain in the present.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
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
Cubism is not a reality you can take in your hand. It's more like a perfume, in front of you, behind you, to the sides, the scent is everywhere but you don’t quite know where it comes from.

Youth has no age.
