More quotes by Pablo Picasso
Enough of Art. It's Art that kills us. People no longer want to do painting: they make art.
Pablo Picasso
I want to get to the stage where nobody can tell how a picture of mine is done. What's the point of that? Simply that I want nothing but emotion given off by it.
Pablo Picasso
I'm always doing things I can't do. That's how I get to do them.
Pablo Picasso
I do things I don't know how to do in order to learn how to do them.
Pablo Picasso
The more technique you have, the less you have to worry about it. The more technique there is, the less there is.
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
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
In life you throw a ball. You hope it will reach a wall and bounce back so you can throw it again. You hope your friends will provide that wall.
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
The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
Pablo Picasso
If I knew what the meaning of art was, I wouldn't tell you.
Pablo Picasso
Cubism is not a reality you can take in your hand. It's more like a perfume, in front of you, behind you, to the sides, the scent is everywhere but you don’t quite know where it comes from.
Pablo Picasso
Forcing yourself to use restricted means is the sort of restraint that liberates invention. It obliges you to make a kind of progress that you can't even imagine in advance.
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
I do not evolve, I am.
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
It is important to remember that great things have no fear of time. We've got to let go of the idea that what we want to manifest has to be done on our time schedule.
Pablo Picasso
If you can imagine it...it is real
Pablo Picasso
For me painting is a dramatic action in the course of which reality finds itself split apart
Pablo Picasso
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
Pablo Picasso
