Image
I never calculate. That is why those who do, calculate so much less accurately than I.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To make oneself hated is more difficult than to make oneself loved.
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.

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
The quality of a painter depends on the amount of past he carries with him.
Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso
Image
I understand my own pictures best six months after I have done them.
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
Enough of Art. It's Art that kills us. People no longer want to do painting: they make art.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The Parthenon is really only a farmyard over which someone put a roof colonades and sculptures were added because there were people in Athens who happened to be working and wanted to express themselves.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I would like to manage to prevent people from ever seeing how a picture of mine has been done. What can it possibly matter? What I want is that the only thing emanating from my pictures should be emotion.

Image
The path to youth takes a lifetime.
Pablo Picasso
Image
For my part, I can't do anything else but what I am doing.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When the individuality of the artist begins to express itself, what the artist gains in the way of liberty he loses in the way of order.

Paradise is to love many things with a passion.
