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.

More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Photography has arrived at the point where it is capable of liberating painting from all literature, from the anecdote, and even from the subject. In any case, a certain aspect of the subject now belongs to the domain of photography. So shouldn't painters profit from their newly acquired liberty, and make use of it to do other things?
Pablo Picasso
For my part, I can't do anything else but what I am doing.
Pablo Picasso
Have you noticed that bones are always modeled and not carved, that you always have the impression they come from a mold, that they were first modeled in clay? Any bone you look at, you always find fingerprints on it.
Pablo Picasso
When I haven't any blue I use red.
Pablo Picasso
When they say that I am too old to make a thing, I try to make it immediately.
Pablo Picasso
Even if the painting is green, well then! The 'subject' is the green. There is always a subject it's a joke to suppress the subject, it's impossible.
Pablo Picasso
We didn't want to sign the painting itself, that would have interfered with the composition. And even later, for that reason or for another, I sometimes marked my canvases on the back. If you don't see my signature and the date, madam, it's because the frame is hiding it.
Pablo Picasso
Art is lies that tell the truth.
Pablo Picasso
I have discovered photography. Now I can kill myself. I have nothing else to learn.
Pablo Picasso
I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.
Pablo Picasso
I have never made radically different experiments. Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should.
Pablo Picasso
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
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
Pablo Picasso
What is a face, really? Its own photo? Its make-up? Or is it a face as painted by such or such painter? That which is in front? Inside? Behind? And the rest? Doesn't everyone look at himself in his own particular way? Deformations simply do not exist.
Pablo Picasso
It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.
Pablo Picasso
I am always making that what I am not capable, in an attempt to learn how to doing it.
Pablo Picasso
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.
Pablo Picasso
Inspiration exists, but you have to find it working.
Pablo Picasso
It is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.
Pablo Picasso
There are only two types of women - goddesses and doormats.
Pablo Picasso
