Quote

I am a communist and my painting is a communist painting. But if I were a shoemaker, Royalist or Communist or anything else, I would not necessarily hammer my shoes in any special way to show my politics.

Image
Art is a finger up the bourgeoisie ass.
Pablo Picasso
Image
It is personality with a penny's worth of talent. Error which chances to rise above the commonplace.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I want to create a cat like the real cats I see crossing the streets, not like those you see in houses. They have nothing in common. The cat of the streets has bristling fur. It runs like a fiend, and if it looks at you, you think it is going to jump in your face.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Cubism is not a reality you can take in your hand. It's more like a perfume, in front of you, behind you, to the sides, the scent is everywhere but you don’t quite know where it comes from.
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.
Pablo Picasso

What other movement determines the S line? Its aesthetic efficacity has long been noted by artists.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When I was a kid I drew like Michelangelo. It took me years to learn to draw like a kid.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Because I cannot work except in solitude, it is necessary that I live my work and that is impossible except in solitude.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Through education comes understanding. Through understanding comes true appreciation. All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When you start with a portrait and try to find pure form by abstracting more and more, you must end up with an egg.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Love must be proven by facts and not by reasons.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Photographers, along with dentists, are the two professions never satisfied with what they do. Every dentist would like to be a doctor and inside every photographer is a painter trying to get out.

Image
You don't make art, you find it
Pablo Picasso
Image
The artist spends the first part of his life with the dead, the second with the living, and the third with himself.
Pablo Picasso
Image
They are not men, they are not women, they are Americans.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When they say that I am too old to make a thing, I try to make it immediately.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Paintings are but research and experiment. I never do a painting as a work of art. All of them are researches. I search constantly and there is a logical sequence in all this research.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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.
