Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist while still achieving milestones and outcomes as required by certain funders and policy-makers.
Pablo Picasso

Art is lies that tell the truth.
Pablo Picasso

You don't make art, you find it
Pablo Picasso

We don't grow older, we grow riper.

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.
Pablo Picasso

When you're really young, you're young for life.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I must keep on trying, just to keep the experiment going until I get tired of it all. Even if the last result is not necessarily the best, I stop when my interest in the problem wanes.

It is important to remember that great things have no fear of time. We've got to let go of the idea that what we want to manifest has to be done on our time schedule.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When I was a kid I drew like Michelangelo. It took me years to learn to draw like a kid.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is a lie that makes us realise truth ... that is given us to understand.

The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.

Computers are useless - all they can give you are answers.
Pablo Picasso

Love must be proven by facts and not by reasons.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When we did Cubist paintings, our intention was not to produce Cubist paintings but to express what was within us. No one laid down a course of action for us, and our friends the poets followed our endeavour attentively but they never dictated it to us.
Pablo Picasso
Image
So there's only one tactic for the state: kill the seers.

The secret of many of my deformations - which many people do not understand - is that there is an interaction, an intereffect between the lines in a painting: one line attracts the other and at the point of maximum attraction the lines curve in toward the attracting point and form is altered.
