Image
Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I consider a work of art as a product of calculations, calculations that are frequently unknown to the author himself.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Almost every evening, either I went to [Georges] Braque's studio or Braque came to mine. Each of us had to see what the other had done during the day. We criticized each other's work. A canvas wasn't finished unless both of us felt it was.

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
Image
For me painting is a dramatic action in the course of which reality finds itself split apart
Pablo Picasso
Image
Imitators? All right! Disciples if you like. But disciples be damned. It's not interesting.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Anything new, anything worth doing, can't be recognized.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If you are a genius and unsuccessful, everybody treats you as if you were a genius, but when you come to be successful, when you commence to earn money, when you are really successful, then your family and everybody no longer treats you like a genius, they treat you like a man who has become successful.
