Image
Drink to me. Drink to my health. You know I can't drink any more.

One must act in painting as in life, directly.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
When you are young and without success, you have only a few friends. Then, later on, when you are rich and famous, you still have a few... if you are lucky.
Pablo Picasso
Image
In art, there is neither past nor future. The art that is not in the present will never be.

We don't grow older, we grow riper.
