Image
Love must be proven by facts and not by reasons.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Through education comes understanding. Through understanding comes true appreciation. All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine.
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
No doubt, it is useful for an artist to know all the forms of art which have preceded or which accompany his. That is a sign of strength if it is a question of looking for a stimulus or recognizing mistakes he must avoid.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Cubism is not a reality you can take in your hand. It's more like a perfume, in front of you, behind you, to the sides, the scent is everywhere but you don’t quite know where it comes from.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When I enter the studio, I leave my body at the door the way the Moslems leave their shoes when they enter the mosque, and I only allow my spirit to go in there and paint.
Pablo Picasso
Image
In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If only we could pull out our brain and use only our eyes.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When you see what you express through photography, you realize all the things that can no longer be the objectives of painting. Why should an artist persist in treating subjects that can be established so clearly with the lens of a camera?
Pablo Picasso
Image
There's no such thing as a bad Picasso, but some are less good than others.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is a lie that makes us realise truth ... that is given us to understand.
Pablo Picasso
Image
They'll sell you thousands of greens. Veronese green and emerald green and cadmium green and any sort of green you like but that particular green, never.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
Style is often something which locks the painter into the same vision, the same technique, the same formula during years and years, sometimes during one's whole lifetime.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The people who make art their business are mostly imposters.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Don't waste your youth growing up.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.

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.
