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.

We don't grow older, we grow riper.
Pablo Picasso
Image
You see these thick curtains shut out the daylight: artificial light suits me a great deal better it's absolutely steady, and much more exciting.
Pablo Picasso
Image
So there's only one tactic for the state: kill the seers.
Pablo Picasso
Image
You mustn't expect me to repeat myself. My past doesn't interest me. I would rather copy others than copy myself. In that way I should at least be giving them something new. I love discovering things.
Pablo Picasso
Image
In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Good taste is the enemy of creativity.
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
Enough of Art. It's Art that kills us. People no longer want to do painting: they make art.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting. And the dust that falls on it every day remains there. Everything that's come down to us from the past has been conserved by dust.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Go and do the things you can't. That is how you get to do them.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If it's good, it's mine. If it's bad, it's a fake.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is never chaste. It ought to be forbidden to ignorant innocents, never allowed into contact with those not sufficiently prepared. Yes, art is dangerous. Where it is chaste, it is not art.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To me there is no past or future in art. If a work of art does not live in the present, it must not be considered at all.
Pablo Picasso
Image
An artist must forget painting when he paints. That's the only way he will do original work.
Pablo Picasso
Image
There ought to be an absolute dictatorship... a dictatorship of painters... a dictatorship of one painter... to suppress all those who have betrayed us.
Pablo Picasso
Image
For a long time I limited myself to one colour - as a form of discipline.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Every now and then one paints a picture that seems to have opened a door and serves as a stepping stone to other things.
Pablo Picasso
Image
You don't make art, you find it
Pablo Picasso

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.
