More quotes by Pablo Picasso

Image
I try to paint what I have found and not what I look for. In art, intentions are of little importance.
Pablo Picasso
Image
A picture is not thought out and settled beforehand. While it is being done it changes as one's thoughts change.
Pablo Picasso
Image
People don't realize what they have when they own a picture by me. Each picture is a phial with my blood. That is what has gone into it.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I have never made radically different experiments. Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Good taste is the enemy of creativity.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I'd like to live as a poor man with lots of money.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The secret of many of my deformations - which many people do not understand - is that there is an interaction, an intereffect between the lines in a painting: one line attracts the other and at the point of maximum attraction the lines curve in toward the attracting point and form is altered.
Pablo Picasso
Image
What other movement determines the S line? Its aesthetic efficacity has long been noted by artists.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The only thing that's important is the legend created by the picture, and not whether it continues to exist itself.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.
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
I am exhausted if I don't work.
Pablo Picasso
Image
From the point of view of art, there are no concrete or abstract forms, but only forms which are more or less convincing lies.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When you're really young, you're young for life.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I don't say everything, but I paint everything.
Pablo Picasso
Image
What do you think an artist is? ...he is a political being, constantly aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.
Pablo Picasso
Image
By amusing myself with all these games, all this nonsense, all these picture puzzles, I became famous... I am only a public entertainer who has understood his time.
Pablo Picasso
Image
So there's only one tactic for the state: kill the seers.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.
Pablo Picasso
Image
The urge to destroy is also a creative urge.
Pablo Picasso
