If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.
Pablo Picasso
Image
This idea of art for art's sake is a hoax.
Pablo Picasso

As far as I am concerned, a painting speaks for itself. What is the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done? A painter has only one language.
Pablo Picasso
Image
By amusing myself with all these games, all this nonsense, all these picture puzzles, I became famous... I am only a public entertainer who has understood his time.
Pablo Picasso

In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.
