More quotes by Pablo Picasso
The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.
Pablo Picasso
The best calculation is the absence of calculation. Once you have attained a certain level of recognition, others generally figure that when you do something, it's for an intelligent reason. So it's really foolish to plot out your movements too carefully in advance. You're better off acting capriciously.
Pablo Picasso
To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.
Pablo Picasso
Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.
Pablo Picasso
Photography has arrived at the point where it is capable of liberating painting from all literature, from the anecdote, and even from the subject. In any case, a certain aspect of the subject now belongs to the domain of photography. So shouldn't painters profit from their newly acquired liberty, and make use of it to do other things?
Pablo Picasso
To model an object is to possess it.
Pablo Picasso
Now there is fame! Of all - hunger, misery, the incomprehension by the public - fame is by far the worst. It is the castigation of God by the artist. It is sad. It is true.
Pablo Picasso
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
There are chemists who spend their whole lives trying to find out what's in a lump of sugar. I want to know one thing. What is color?
Pablo Picasso
If you can imagine it...it is real
Pablo Picasso
I do things I don't know how to do in order to learn how to do them.
Pablo Picasso
When it comes right down to it, all you have is your self. Your Self is a sun with a thousand rays.
Pablo Picasso
You're either a goddess ... or a doormat.
Pablo Picasso
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
Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?
Pablo Picasso
There's no such thing as a bad Picasso, but some are less good than others.
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
All Children are Artists
Pablo Picasso
The different styles I have been using in my art must not be seen as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting. Everything I have ever made was made for the present and with the hope that it would always remain in the present.
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
