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.

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
When I paint I feel that all the artists of the past are behind me.
Pablo Picasso

I am exhausted if I don't work.
Pablo Picasso

What one does is what counts. Not what one had the intention of doing.

Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
