More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Abstract art is only painting. And what's so dramatic about that? There is no abstract art. One must always begin with something. Afterwards one can remove all semblance of reality there is no longer any danger as the idea of the object has left an indelible imprint.
Pablo Picasso
Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.
Pablo Picasso
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
Forcing yourself to use restricted means is the sort of restraint that liberates invention. It obliges you to make a kind of progress that you can't even imagine in advance.
Pablo Picasso
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
Art is never chaste. It ought to be forbidden to ignorant innocents, never allowed into contact with those not sufficiently prepared. Yes, art is dangerous. Where it is chaste, it is not art.
Pablo Picasso
I try to paint what I have found and not what I look for. In art, intentions are of little importance.
Pablo Picasso
I never calculate. That is why those who do, calculate so much less accurately than I.
Pablo Picasso
People want to find a 'meaning' in everything and everyone. That's the disease of our age...
Pablo Picasso
Go and do the things you can't. That is how you get to do them.
Pablo Picasso
Art is not chaste. Those ill prepared should be allowed no contact with art. Art is dangerous. If it is chaste, it is not art.
Pablo Picasso
Every now and then one paints a picture that seems to have opened a door and serves as a stepping stone to other things.
Pablo Picasso
There's nothing worse than a brilliant beginning.
Pablo Picasso
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.
Pablo Picasso
To model an object is to possess it.
Pablo Picasso
There is only one way to see things, until someone shows us how to look at them with different eyes
Pablo Picasso
To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic.
Pablo Picasso
So there's only one tactic for the state: kill the seers.
Pablo Picasso
For my part, I can't do anything else but what I am doing.
Pablo Picasso
Why assume that to look is to see?
