Quote

Have you noticed that bones are always modeled and not carved, that you always have the impression they come from a mold, that they were first modeled in clay? Any bone you look at, you always find fingerprints on it.

Action is the foundation of all success.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Imitators? All right! Disciples if you like. But disciples be damned. It's not interesting.
Pablo Picasso
Image
You don't make art, you find it
Pablo Picasso
Image
I'd like to live like a poor man with a lot of money.
Pablo Picasso
Image
An artist must forget painting when he paints. That's the only way he will do original work.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Love must be proven by facts and not by reasons.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I try to paint what I have found and not what I look for. In art, intentions are of little importance.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I never calculate. That is why those who do, calculate so much less accurately than I.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Titian, Rembrandt and Goya were the great painters. I am only a public clown.
Pablo Picasso
Image
We didn't want to sign the painting itself, that would have interfered with the composition. And even later, for that reason or for another, I sometimes marked my canvases on the back. If you don't see my signature and the date, madam, it's because the frame is hiding it.
Pablo Picasso
Image
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
Image
To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.
Pablo Picasso
Image
There's no such thing as a bad Picasso, but some are less good than others.
Pablo Picasso
Image
You have to start somewhere. You can always erase reality later on.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Almost every evening, either I went to [Georges] Braque's studio or Braque came to mine. Each of us had to see what the other had done during the day. We criticized each other's work. A canvas wasn't finished unless both of us felt it was.
Pablo Picasso
Image
In every photographer there was a painter, a true artist, awaiting expression.
Pablo Picasso
Image
Different themes inevitably require different methods of expression. This does not imply either evolution or progress it is a matter of following the idea one wants to express and the way in which one wants to express it.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I would like to manage to prevent people from ever seeing how a picture of mine has been done. What can it possibly matter? What I want is that the only thing emanating from my pictures should be emotion.
Pablo Picasso
Image
When I enter the studio, I leave my body at the door the way the Moslems leave their shoes when they enter the mosque, and I only allow my spirit to go in there and paint.
Pablo Picasso
Image
I want to create a cat like the real cats I see crossing the streets, not like those you see in houses. They have nothing in common. The cat of the streets has bristling fur. It runs like a fiend, and if it looks at you, you think it is going to jump in your face.
