Quote

Each time I undertake to paint a picture I have a sensation of leaping into space. I never know whether I shall fall on my feet. It is only later that I begin to estimate more exactly the the effect of my work.

Image
Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I have never made radically different experiments. Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
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
Formerly pictures used to move towards completion in progressive stages. Each day would bring something new. A picture was a sum of additions. With me, picture is a sum of destructions. I do a picture, then I destroy it. But in the long run nothing is lost the red that I took away from one place turns up somewhere else.

Image
Age only matters when one is aging. Now that I have arrived at a great age, I might as well be twenty.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is a leap into the dark.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
Pablo Picasso
Image
An artist must be very careful not to look for models. As soon as one artist takes another as model, he is lost. There is no other point of departure than reality.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When you are young and without success, you have only a few friends. Then, later on, when you are rich and famous, you still have a few... if you are lucky.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is an instrument in the war against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
Image
People want to find a 'meaning' in everything and everyone. That's the disease of our age...
Pablo Picasso
Image
Computers are stupid.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
I'm always doing things I can't do. That's how I get to do them.
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
Different themes inevitably require different methods of expression. This does not imply either evolution or progress it is a matter of following the idea one wants to express and the way in which one wants to express it.
