Image
When it comes right down to it, all you have is your self. Your Self is a sun with a thousand rays.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The quality of a painter depends on the amount of past he carries with him.
Pablo Picasso

Nature does many things the way I do, but she hides them!
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.

Art isn't done to decorate apartments, but to wage war against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Everyone wants to understand art. Why don't we try to understand the song of a bird? Why do we love the night, the flowers, everything around us, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting, people think they have to understand.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If I had known there was such a thing as Islamic Calligraphy, I would never have started to paint. I have strived to reach the highest levels of artistic mastery, but I found that Islamic Calligraphy was there ages before I was.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I understand my own pictures best six months after I have done them.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If I knew what the meaning of art was, I wouldn't tell you.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When I paint I feel that all the artists of the past are behind me.
Pablo Picasso
Image
There are only two types of women - goddesses and doormats.
Pablo Picasso

If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.
