More quotes by Pablo Picasso
I am a communist and my painting is a communist painting. But if I were a shoemaker, Royalist or Communist or anything else, I would not necessarily hammer my shoes in any special way to show my politics.
Pablo Picasso
One must act in painting as in life, directly.
Pablo Picasso
Anything new, anything worth doing, can't be recognized.
Pablo Picasso
I paint the way some people write an autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary.
Pablo Picasso
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.
Pablo Picasso
If I were to sign it now, I'd be committing forgery. I'd be putting my 1943 signature on a canvas painted in 1922.
Pablo Picasso
To me there is no past or future in my art. If a work of art cannot live always in the present it must not be considered at all. The art of the Greeks, of the Egyptians, of the great painters who lived in other times, is not an art of the past perhaps it is more alive today than it ever was.
Pablo Picasso
An artist must forget painting when he paints. That's the only way he will do original work.
Pablo Picasso
We can see the light but we are still inside the tunnel, ... We have not been able to get to all the communities.
Pablo Picasso
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.
Pablo Picasso
I have never had time for the idea of searching. Whenever I wanted to express something, I did so without thinking of the past or the future.
Pablo Picasso
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
Museums are just a lot of lies, and the people who make art their business are mostly imposters. We have infected the pictures in museums with all our stupidities, all our mistakes, all our poverty of spirit. We have turned them into petty and ridiculous things.
Pablo Picasso
I who have been involved with all styles of painting can assure you that the only things that fluctuate are the waves of fashion which carry the snobs and speculators the number of true connoisseurs remains more or less the same.
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
All Children are Artists
Pablo Picasso
Computers are useless - all they can give you are answers.
Pablo Picasso
The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting. And the dust that falls on it every day remains there. Everything that's come down to us from the past has been conserved by dust.
Pablo Picasso
I do not evolve, I am.
Pablo Picasso
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.
