More quotes by Pablo Picasso
You mustn't expect me to repeat myself. My past doesn't interest me. I would rather copy others than copy myself. In that way I should at least be giving them something new. I love discovering things.
Pablo Picasso
It is a well-known fact that we see the faults in other's works more readily than we do in our own.
Pablo Picasso
When we did Cubist paintings, our intention was not to produce Cubist paintings but to express what was within us. No one laid down a course of action for us, and our friends the poets followed our endeavour attentively but they never dictated it to us.
Pablo Picasso
I never calculate. That is why those who do, calculate so much less accurately than I.
Pablo Picasso
If you are a genius and unsuccessful, everybody treats you as if you were a genius, but when you come to be successful, when you commence to earn money, when you are really successful, then your family and everybody no longer treats you like a genius, they treat you like a man who has become successful.
Pablo Picasso
Painting isn't an aesthetic operation it's a form of magic designed as mediator between this strange hostile world and us.
Pablo Picasso
Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.
Pablo Picasso
When I was a kid I drew like Michelangelo. It took me years to learn to draw like a kid.
Pablo Picasso
If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!
Pablo Picasso
Imitators? All right! Disciples if you like. But disciples be damned. It's not interesting.
Pablo Picasso
When I paint I feel that all the artists of the past are behind me.
Pablo Picasso
Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.
Pablo Picasso
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
Each time I undertake to paint a picture I have a sensation of leaping into space. I never know whether I shall fall on my feet. It is only later that I begin to estimate more exactly the the effect of my work.
Pablo Picasso
Rhythm is a perception of time... when drawing, the tiredness of the hand is a rhythm.
Pablo Picasso
When they say that I am too old to make a thing, I try to make it immediately.
Pablo Picasso
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
What other movement determines the S line? Its aesthetic efficacity has long been noted by artists.
Pablo Picasso
In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.
Pablo Picasso
As far as I am concerned, a painting speaks for itself. What is the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done? A painter has only one language.
