Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.
Pablo Picasso -
If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!
Pablo Picasso
-
There are only two types of women - goddesses and doormats.
Pablo Picasso -
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Pablo Picasso -
In art, practice always comes before theory.
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 -
They ought to put out the eyes of painters as they do goldfinches in order that they can sing better.
Pablo Picasso -
The first half of life is learning to be an adult-the second half is learning to be a child.
Pablo Picasso
-
If all the ways I have been along were marked on a map and joined up with a line, it might represent a minotaur.
Pablo Picasso -
By amusing myself with all these games, all this nonsense, all these picture puzzles, I became famous... I am only a public entertainer who has understood his time.
Pablo Picasso -
But when I am alone, I do not have the effrontery to consider myself an artist at all, not in the grand old meaning of the word: Giotto, Titian, Rembrandt, Goya were great painters. I am only a public clown-a mountebank. I have understood my time and have exploited the imbecility, the vanity, the greed of my contemporaries. It is a bitter confession, this confession of mine, more painful than it may seem. But at least and at last it does have the merit of being honest.
Pablo Picasso -
You mustn't always believe what I say. Questions tempt you to tell lies, particularly when there is no answer.
Pablo Picasso -
Manifesting takes place from Spirit. It doesn't take place from form, from the physical world. You've got to know that what you want to manifest will occur.
Pablo Picasso -
It is my misfortune - and probably my delight - to use things as my passions tell me. What a miserable fate for a painter who adores blondes to have to stop himself putting them into a picture because they don't go with the basket of fruit!
Pablo Picasso
-
The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?
Pablo Picasso -
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.
Pablo Picasso -
Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one's bath like a lump of sugar.
Pablo Picasso -
Good taste is the enemy of creativity.
Pablo Picasso -
Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.
Pablo Picasso -
If everybody is looking for it, then nobody is finding it. If we were cultured, we would not be conscious of lacking culture. We would regard it as something natural and would not make so much fuss about it. And if we knew the real value of this word we would be cultured enough not to give it so much importance.
Pablo Picasso
-
When I die, it will be a shipwreck, and as when a huge ship sinks, many people all around will be sucked down with it.
Pablo Picasso -
The people no longer seek consolation in art. But the refined people, the rich, the idlers seek the new, the extraordinary, the extravagant, the scandalous.
Pablo Picasso -
Sex and art are the same thing.
Pablo Picasso -
He can who thinks he can, and he can't who thinks he can't. This is an inexorable, indisputable law.
