One must not imitate what one wants to create Picture Quote #1

We will never have repose. The present is perpetual Picture Quote #1

I like the rule that corrects emotion Picture Quote #1

Nature is a mere pretext for a decorative composition, plus sentiment. It suggests emotion, and I translate that emotion into art Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t portray a woman in all her natural loveliness... I haven’t the skill. No one has. I must, therefore, create a new sort of beauty Picture Quote #1

You put a blob of yellow here, and another at the further edge of the canvas: straight away a rapport is established between them. Colour acts in the way that music does Picture Quote #1

The painter thinks in terms of form and color. The goal is not to be concerned with the reconstitution of an anecdotal fact, but with constitution of a pictorial fact Picture Quote #1

I am interposing overlaid planes a short way off... To make it understood that things are in front of each other instead of being scattered in space Picture Quote #1

Critics should help people see for themselves; they should never try to define things, or impose their own explanations, though I admit that if... a critic’s explanations serve to increase the general obscurity, that’s all to the good Picture Quote #1

La ve rite existe; on n’invente que le mensonge. Truth exists; only lies are invented Picture Quote #1

One day I noticed that I could go on working my art motif no matter what the weather might be. I no longer needed the sun, for I took my light everywhere with me Picture Quote #1

When objects shattered into fragments appeared in my painting about 1909, this for me was a way of getting closest to the object... Fragmentation helped me to establish space and movement in space Picture Quote #1

Emotion should not be rendered by an excited trembling; it can neither be added on nor be imitated. It is the seed, the work is the flower Picture Quote #1

Take the birds which you’ll have noticed in so many of my recent paintings. I never thought them up, they just materialized of their own accord; they were born on the canvas... it is absurd to read any sort of symbolic significance into them Picture Quote #1

I find that it is important to work slowly. Anyone who looks at such a canvas will follow the same path the artist took, and he will experience that it is the path which counts more than the outcome of it, and that the route taken has been the most interesting part Picture Quote #1

Illusions... are simple facts, but they have been created by the mind, by the spirit, and they are one of the justifications of the new spatial configuration Picture Quote #1

I thought that from the moment someone else could do the same as myself, there was no difference between the pictures and they should not be signed. Afterwards I realized it was not so and began to sign my pictures again. Picasso had begun again anyhow Picture Quote #1
