Image
I would like to manage to prevent people from ever seeing how a picture of mine has been done. What can it possibly matter? What I want is that the only thing emanating from my pictures should be emotion.
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
You see these thick curtains shut out the daylight: artificial light suits me a great deal better it's absolutely steady, and much more exciting.

Rhythm is a perception of time... when drawing, the tiredness of the hand is a rhythm.
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
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
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
Pablo Picasso
Image
There's nothing worse than a brilliant beginning.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If I don't have red, I use blue.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I never calculate. That is why those who do, calculate so much less accurately than I.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I do not evolve, I am.
Pablo Picasso
Image
It is the object which aroused the artist, stimulated his ideas and set of his emotions. These ideas and emotions will be imprisoned in his work for good.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Enough of Art. It's Art that kills us. People no longer want to do painting: they make art.
