Image
I must keep on trying, just to keep the experiment going until I get tired of it all. Even if the last result is not necessarily the best, I stop when my interest in the problem wanes.
Pablo Picasso
Image
If all the ways I have been along were marked on a map and joined up with a line, it might represent a minotaur.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is the best possible introduction to the culture of the world. I love it for the buried hopes, the garnered memories, the tender feelings it can summon at a touch. It washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
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
A painting is not thought out in advance. While it is being done, it changes as one’s thoughts change. And when it’s finished, it goes on changing, according to the state of mind of whoever is looking at it
Pablo Picasso
Image
Enough of Art. It's Art that kills us. People no longer want to do painting: they make art.

Image
Drink to me. Drink to my health. You know I can't drink any more.

Everything exists in limited quantity - especially happiness.

My friends back in Barcelona called me by that name (Picasso). It was stranger, more resonant, than Ruiz. And those are probably the reasons I adopted it. Do you know what appealed to me about that name? Well, it was undoubtedly the double s, which is fairly unusual in Spain.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Races and religions may have changed, but the marketplace, the living quarters, pilgrimage sites, places of worship, have remained the same. Venus is replaced by the Virgin, but the same life goes on.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I simply painted images of what was before my eyes it is for others to find hidden meaning in them.
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
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
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
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
If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!
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
If you are trying to find something, it means you haven't got it. And if you find it simply by looking for it, that means it's false.

Image
Paradise is to love many things with a passion.

If I don't have red, I use blue.
