You can go to the moon or walk under the sea, or anything else you like, but painting remains painting because it eludes such investigation. It remains there like a question. And it alone gives the answer.
Pablo Picasso

More quotes by Pablo Picasso
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
Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
Pablo Picasso
I have never had time for the idea of searching. Whenever I wanted to express something, I did so without thinking of the past or the future.
Pablo Picasso
The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Pablo Picasso
Every positive value has its price in negative terms... the genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.
Pablo Picasso
There's nothing more difficult than a line.
Pablo Picasso
To me there is no past or future in art. If a work of art does not live in the present, it must not be considered at all.
Pablo Picasso
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.
Pablo Picasso
An artist must be very careful not to look for models. As soon as one artist takes another as model, he is lost. There is no other point of departure than reality.
Pablo Picasso
To model an object is to possess it.
Pablo Picasso
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
We can see the light but we are still inside the tunnel, ... We have not been able to get to all the communities.
Pablo Picasso
Why assume that to look is to see?
Pablo Picasso
Painting isn't made for the decoration of apartments it is a weapon to be used offensively and defensively against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
People want Art. And they are given it. But the less Art there is in painting the more painting there is.
Pablo Picasso
In art intentions are not sufficient and, as we say in Spanish, love must be proved by deeds and not by reasons. What one does is what counts and not what one had the intention of doing.
Pablo Picasso
Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.
Pablo Picasso
A painting is not thought out in advance. While it is being done, it changes as one’s thoughts change. And when it’s finished, it goes on changing, according to the state of mind of whoever is looking at it
Pablo Picasso
For me painting is a dramatic action in the course of which reality finds itself split apart
Pablo Picasso
What other movement determines the S line? Its aesthetic efficacity has long been noted by artists.
Pablo Picasso
