More quotes by Pablo Picasso
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
Nature does many things the way I do, but she hides them!
Pablo Picasso
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
The revolutionary artist does not only focus on the negative aspects of capitalist lives, but also creates visions of a revolutionary future.
Pablo Picasso
So there's only one tactic for the state: kill the seers.
Pablo Picasso
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
We artists are indestructible even in a prison, or in a concentration camp, I would be almighty in my own world of art, even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell.
Pablo Picasso
As far as I am concerned, a painting speaks for itself. What is the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done? A painter has only one language.
Pablo Picasso
To model an object is to possess it.
Pablo Picasso
It is a well-known fact that we see the faults in other's works more readily than we do in our own.
Pablo Picasso
I who have been involved with all styles of painting can assure you that the only things that fluctuate are the waves of fashion which carry the snobs and speculators the number of true connoisseurs remains more or less the same.
Pablo Picasso
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
When I haven't any blue I use red.
Pablo Picasso
Paintings are but research and experiment. I never do a painting as a work of art. All of them are researches. I search constantly and there is a logical sequence in all this research.
Pablo Picasso
What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas.
Pablo Picasso
When there's dust missing here or there, it's because someone has touched my things. I see immediately someone has been there. And it's because I live constantly with dust, in dust, that I prefer to wear gray suits, the only color on which it leaves no trace.
Pablo Picasso
Enough of Art. It's Art that kills us. People no longer want to do painting: they make art.
Pablo Picasso
It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.
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
