Image
We didn't want to sign the painting itself, that would have interfered with the composition. And even later, for that reason or for another, I sometimes marked my canvases on the back. If you don't see my signature and the date, madam, it's because the frame is hiding it.
Pablo Picasso
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
Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?
Pablo Picasso
Image
There ought to be an absolute dictatorship... a dictatorship of painters... a dictatorship of one painter... to suppress all those who have betrayed us.
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
Image
I have discovered photography. Now I can kill myself. I have nothing else to learn.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Go and do the things you can't. That is how you get to do them.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I do not evolve, I am.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Even if the painting is green, well then! The 'subject' is the green. There is always a subject it's a joke to suppress the subject, it's impossible.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Painting isn't made for the decoration of apartments it is a weapon to be used offensively and defensively against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
Image
One cannot be a sorcerer all the time. How could one live?
Pablo Picasso
Image
Lord, protect me from what I want!
Pablo Picasso
Image
Today, as you know, I am famous and very rich. But when I am alone with myself, I haven't the 'courage' to consider myself an artist, in the great and ancient sense of that word... I am only a public entertainer, who understands his age.

The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting.

Image
There are only two types of women - goddesses and doormats.

Image
What I achieve the first day can be perfectly valid, but it is not satisfying. If I can go that far spontaneously, then I must shed that result as an old skin and inquire further into the unknown, or at least the not-yet-known-to-myself.

I understand my own pictures best six months after I have done them.
