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

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
An artist must forget painting when he paints. That's the only way he will do original work.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When they say that I am too old to make a thing, I try to make it immediately.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing?
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
I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is a lie that makes us realise truth ... that is given us to understand.
