Quote

The secret of many of my deformations - which many people do not understand - is that there is an interaction, an intereffect between the lines in a painting: one line attracts the other and at the point of maximum attraction the lines curve in toward the attracting point and form is altered.

Image
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.

Image
An artist must forget painting when he paints. That's the only way he will do original work.

I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.

Through art we express our conception of what nature is not.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The people no longer seek consolation in art. But the refined people, the rich, the idlers seek the new, the extraordinary, the extravagant, the scandalous.

Pablo Picasso
Image
The more technique you have, the less you have to worry about it. The more technique there is, the less there is.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If everybody is looking for it, then nobody is finding it. If we were cultured, we would not be conscious of lacking culture. We would regard it as something natural and would not make so much fuss about it. And if we knew the real value of this word we would be cultured enough not to give it so much importance.

Action is the foundation of all success.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If you are a genius and unsuccessful, everybody treats you as if you were a genius, but when you come to be successful, when you commence to earn money, when you are really successful, then your family and everybody no longer treats you like a genius, they treat you like a man who has become successful.

Everything exists in limited quantity - especially happiness.

I do things I don't know how to do in order to learn how to do them.

I have discovered photography. Now I can kill myself. I have nothing else to learn.

I paint the way some people write an autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary.
