Anything new, anything worth doing, can't be recognized.
Pablo Picasso
Image
They ought to put out the eyes of painters as they do goldfinches in order that they can sing better.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Pablo Picasso
Image
We don't grow older, we grow riper.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing?
Pablo Picasso
Image
I am exhausted if I don't work.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Through education comes understanding. Through understanding comes true appreciation. All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
Pablo Picasso
Image
A picture is not thought out and settled beforehand. While it is being done it changes as one's thoughts change.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Art is not truth art is the lie which makes us see the truth.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Something sacred, that's it. We ought to be able to say that such and such a painting is as it is, with its capacity for power, because it is touched by God.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I paint the way some people write an autobiography. The paintings, finished or not, are the pages from my diary.
Pablo Picasso
Image
People want to find a 'meaning' in everything and everyone. That's the disease of our age...
Pablo Picasso
Image
An artist must be very careful not to look for models. As soon as one artist takes another as model, he is lost. There is no other point of departure than reality.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.
Pablo Picasso
Image
My friends back in Barcelona called me by that name (Picasso). It was stranger, more resonant, than Ruiz. And those are probably the reasons I adopted it. Do you know what appealed to me about that name? Well, it was undoubtedly the double s, which is fairly unusual in Spain.

The best calculation is the absence of calculation. Once you have attained a certain level of recognition, others generally figure that when you do something, it's for an intelligent reason. So it's really foolish to plot out your movements too carefully in advance. You're better off acting capriciously.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I consider a work of art as a product of calculations, calculations that are frequently unknown to the author himself.
