More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Nature does many things the way I do, but she hides them!
Pablo Picasso
Today, as you know, I am famous and very rich. But when I am alone with myself, I haven't the 'courage' to consider myself an artist, in the great and ancient sense of that word... I am only a public entertainer, who understands his age.
Pablo Picasso
Go and do the things you can't. That is how you get to do them.
Pablo Picasso
To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic.
Pablo Picasso
Art is an instrument in the war against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
They ought to put out the eyes of painters as they do goldfinches in order that they can sing better.
Pablo Picasso
When you are young and without success, you have only a few friends. Then, later on, when you are rich and famous, you still have a few... if you are lucky.
Pablo Picasso
If it's good, it's mine. If it's bad, it's a fake.
Pablo Picasso
There's nothing more difficult than a line.
Pablo Picasso
Drink to me. Drink to my health. You know I can't drink any more.
Pablo Picasso
To me there is no past or future in my art. If a work of art cannot live always in the present it must not be considered at all. The art of the Greeks, of the Egyptians, of the great painters who lived in other times, is not an art of the past perhaps it is more alive today than it ever was.
Pablo Picasso
Photography has arrived at the point where it is capable of liberating painting from all literature, from the anecdote, and even from the subject. In any case, a certain aspect of the subject now belongs to the domain of photography. So shouldn't painters profit from their newly acquired liberty, and make use of it to do other things?
Pablo Picasso
Youth has no age.
Pablo Picasso
The people no longer seek consolation in art. But the refined people, the rich, the idlers seek the new, the extraordinary, the extravagant, the scandalous.
Pablo Picasso
Because I cannot work except in solitude, it is necessary that I live my work and that is impossible except in solitude.
Pablo Picasso
To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.
Pablo Picasso
There ought to be an absolute dictatorship... a dictatorship of painters... a dictatorship of one painter... to suppress all those who have betrayed us.
Pablo Picasso
It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.
Pablo Picasso
One cannot be a sorcerer all the time. How could one live?
Pablo Picasso
The revolutionary artist does not only focus on the negative aspects of capitalist lives, but also creates visions of a revolutionary future.
