Quote

I consider a work of art as a product of calculations, calculations that are frequently unknown to the author himself.

Image
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
Image
I'd like to live like a poor man with a lot of money.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I never calculate. That is why those who do, calculate so much less accurately than I.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Why assume that to look is to see?
Pablo Picasso
Image
The only thing that's important is the legend created by the picture, and not whether it continues to exist itself.
Pablo Picasso
Image
What I achieve the first day can be perfectly valid, but it is not satisfying. If I can go that far spontaneously, then I must shed that result as an old skin and inquire further into the unknown, or at least the not-yet-known-to-myself.
Pablo Picasso

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.

It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.
Pablo Picasso
Image
We don't grow older, we grow riper.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Even if the painting is green, well then! The 'subject' is the green. There is always a subject it's a joke to suppress the subject, it's impossible.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Museums are just a lot of lies, and the people who make art their business are mostly imposters. We have infected the pictures in museums with all our stupidities, all our mistakes, all our poverty of spirit. We have turned them into petty and ridiculous things.
Pablo Picasso
Image
You mustn't expect me to repeat myself. My past doesn't interest me. I would rather copy others than copy myself. In that way I should at least be giving them something new. I love discovering things.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.
Pablo Picasso
Image
For me, there are two kinds of women - goddesses and doormats.

In art, practice always comes before theory.
Pablo Picasso
Image
What do you think an artist is? ...he is a political being, constantly aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Painting isn't made for the decoration of apartments it is a weapon to be used offensively and defensively against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso

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

The best calculation is the absence of calculation. Once you have attained a certain level of recognition, others generally figure that when you do something, it's for an intelligent reason. So it's really foolish to plot out your movements too carefully in advance. You're better off acting capriciously.

I hate that aesthetic game of the eye and the mind, played by these connoisseurs, these mandarins who appreciate beauty. What is beauty, anyway? There's no such thing. I never appreciate, any more than I like. I love it or I hate.
