More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Sculpture is the best comment that a painter can make on painting.
Pablo Picasso
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
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
Art is an instrument in the war against the enemy.
Pablo Picasso
The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting.
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
The artist must know the manner whereby to convince others of the truthfulness of his lies.
Pablo Picasso
Manifesting takes place from Spirit. It doesn't take place from form, from the physical world. You've got to know that what you want to manifest will occur.
Pablo Picasso
Photographers, along with dentists, are the two professions never satisfied with what they do. Every dentist would like to be a doctor and inside every photographer is a painter trying to get out.
Pablo Picasso
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
Formerly pictures used to move towards completion in progressive stages. Each day would bring something new. A picture was a sum of additions. With me, picture is a sum of destructions. I do a picture, then I destroy it. But in the long run nothing is lost the red that I took away from one place turns up somewhere else.
Pablo Picasso
Nature does many things the way I do, but she hides them!
Pablo Picasso
In art, practice always comes before theory.
Pablo Picasso
Why do you try to understand art? Do you try to understand the song of a bird?
Pablo Picasso
Good designers copy great designers steal.
Pablo Picasso
To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic.
Pablo Picasso
People want to find a 'meaning' in everything and everyone. That's the disease of our age...
Pablo Picasso
Art is a leap into the dark.
Pablo Picasso
One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite - that particular peach is but a detail.
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
