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.

More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Art is never chaste. It ought to be forbidden to ignorant innocents, never allowed into contact with those not sufficiently prepared. Yes, art is dangerous. Where it is chaste, it is not art.
Pablo Picasso
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
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
Pablo Picasso
Youth has no age.
Pablo Picasso
There is only one way to see things, until someone shows us how to look at them with different eyes
Pablo Picasso
It's a poor artist who borrows--a good artist steals.
Pablo Picasso
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
When I was a kid I drew like Michelangelo. It took me years to learn to draw like a kid.
Pablo Picasso
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
Whether he wants it or not, man is the instrument of nature she imposes on him character and appearance.
Pablo Picasso
My friends back in Barcelona called me by that name (Picasso). It was stranger, more resonant, than Ruiz. And those are probably the reasons I adopted it. Do you know what appealed to me about that name? Well, it was undoubtedly the double s, which is fairly unusual in Spain.
Pablo Picasso
If I knew what the meaning of art was, I wouldn't tell you.
Pablo Picasso
Imitators? All right! Disciples if you like. But disciples be damned. It's not interesting.
Pablo Picasso
They ought to put out the eyes of painters as they do goldfinches in order that they can sing better.
Pablo Picasso
The quality of a painter depends on the amount of past he carries with him.
Pablo Picasso
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso
To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.
Pablo Picasso
People don't realize what they have when they own a picture by me. Each picture is a phial with my blood. That is what has gone into it.
Pablo Picasso
When I haven't any blue I use red.
Pablo Picasso
If you can imagine it...it is real
