To model an object is to possess it.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Inspiration exists, but you have to find it working.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
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
To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I imitate everyone except myself.
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
Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.

For those who know how to read, I have painted my autobiography
Pablo Picasso
Image
What one does is what counts. Not what one had the intention of doing.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Photographers, along with dentists, are the two professions never satisfied with what they do. Every dentist would like to be a doctor and inside every photographer is a painter trying to get out.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Never copy yourself, always copy someone else.
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
I want to create a cat like the real cats I see crossing the streets, not like those you see in houses. They have nothing in common. The cat of the streets has bristling fur. It runs like a fiend, and if it looks at you, you think it is going to jump in your face.
Pablo Picasso
Image
We can see the light but we are still inside the tunnel, ... We have not been able to get to all the communities.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The essential in this time of moral poverty is to create enthusiasm.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I paint the way some people write an autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary.
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.
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.

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