Quote

Action is the foundation of all success.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If it's good, it's mine. If it's bad, it's a fake.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Each time I undertake to paint a picture I have a sensation of leaping into space. I never know whether I shall fall on my feet. It is only later that I begin to estimate more exactly the the effect of my work.
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
Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I'm always doing things I can't do. That's how I get to do 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
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
Image
For me, there are two kinds of women - goddesses and doormats.
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
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
I am always making that what I am not capable, in an attempt to learn how to doing it.
Pablo Picasso
Image
It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When I was a kid I drew like Michelangelo. It took me years to learn to draw like a kid.
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 artist spends the first part of his life with the dead, the second with the living, and the third with himself.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I'd like to live as a poor man with lots of money.
Pablo Picasso
Image
In art, there is neither past nor future. The art that is not in the present will never be.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?
Pablo Picasso
Image
Something sacred, that's it. We ought to be able to say that such and such a painting is as it is, with its capacity for power, because it is touched by God.
