Pablo Picasso Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

Enough of Art. It’s Art that kills us. People no longer want to do painting: they make art Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Abstract art is only painting. And what’s so dramatic about that? There is no abstract art. One must always begin with something. Afterwards one can remove all semblance of reality; there is no longer any danger as the idea of the object has left an indelible imprint Picture Quote #1

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist while still achieving milestones and outcomes as required by certain funders and policy-makers Picture Quote #1

Art isn’t done to decorate apartments, but to wage war against the enemy Picture Quote #1

You see these thick curtains shut out the daylight: artificial light suits me a great deal better; it’s absolutely steady, and much more exciting Picture Quote #1

If you’re stuck in a painting, then stop and draw something else. Draw a flower and put your love into that flower. Then your powers will come back again Picture Quote #1

I paint the way someone bites his fingernails; for me, painting is a bad habit because I don’t know nor can I do anything else Picture Quote #1

For being a bad student I was banished to the ‘calaboose’ - a bare cell with whitewashed walls and a bench to sit on. I liked it there, because I took along a sketch pad and drew incessantly I could have stayed there forever drawing without stopping Picture Quote #1

Everyone wants to understand art. Why not try to understand the song of a bird? ...people who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree Picture Quote #1

I simply painted images of what was before my eyes; it is for others to find hidden meaning in them Picture Quote #1

A picture is not thought out and settled beforehand. While it is being done it changes as one’s thoughts change Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to do business with those who don’t make a profit, because they can’t give the best service Picture Quote #1

To know what you’re going to draw, you have to begin drawing... When I find myself facing a blank page, that’s always going through my head. What I capture in spite of myself interests me more than my own ideas Picture Quote #1

How often have I found that wanting to use blue, I didn’t have it so I used a red instead of the blue Picture Quote #1

Art is the best possible introduction to the culture of the world. I love it for the buried hopes, the garnered memories, the tender feelings it can summon at a touch. It washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life Picture Quote #1

They’ll sell you thousands of greens. Veronese green and emerald green and cadmium green and any sort of green you like; but that particular green, never Picture Quote #1

Neither is there figurative and non-figurative art. All things appear to us in the shape of forms. Even in metaphysics ideas are expressed by forms. Well then, think how absurd it would be to think of painting without the imagery of forms. A figure, an object, a circle, are forms; they affect us more or less intensely Picture Quote #1

Style is often something which locks the painter into the same vision, the same technique, the same formula during years and years, sometimes during one’s whole lifetime Picture Quote #1

My mother said to me, ‘If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.’ Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso Picture Quote #1

What do you think an artist is? ...he is a political being, constantly aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war Picture Quote #1

Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don't start measuring her limbs Picture Quote #1

Every positive value has its price in negative terms. The genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima Picture Quote #1

God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style, he just goes on trying other things Picture Quote #1

Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success Picture Quote #1

Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun Picture Quote #1

Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality Picture Quote #1
