Art is an instrument in the war against the enemy.
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

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
For a long time I limited myself to one colour - as a form of discipline.
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
Painting isn't made for the decoration of apartments it is a weapon to be used offensively and defensively against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Sculpture is the best comment that a painter can make on painting.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If I knew what the meaning of art was, I wouldn't tell you.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Painting isn't an aesthetic operation it's a form of magic designed as mediator between this strange hostile world and us.

Good designers copy great designers steal.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is not chaste. Those ill prepared should be allowed no contact with art. Art is dangerous. If it is chaste, it is not art.
