Reality is to be found in lightness and darkness.
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.
Pablo Picasso
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
The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.
Pablo Picasso
Image
To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.

Every positive value has its price in negative terms... the genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Disciples be damned. It's not interesting. It's only the masters that matter. Those who create.
Pablo Picasso

Drawing is a kind of hypnotism: one looks in such a way at the model, that he comes and takes a seat on the paper.
Pablo Picasso
Image
So there's only one tactic for the state: kill the seers.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If I were to sign it now, I'd be committing forgery. I'd be putting my 1943 signature on a canvas painted in 1922.
Pablo Picasso
Image
What one does is what counts. Not what one had the intention of doing.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!
Pablo Picasso
Image
For me, there are two kinds of women - goddesses and doormats.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The fingerprints of the god who amused himself fashioning them - I can see them on any bone whatsoever.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Never copy yourself, always copy someone else.
Pablo Picasso
Image
You're either a goddess ... or a doormat.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is a finger up the bourgeoisie ass.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If all the ways I have been along were marked on a map and joined up with a line, it might represent a minotaur.
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.
