Pablo Picasso Quotes

If you have five elements available use only four. If you have four elements use three Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Motivation is in the world around us. We have an infinite amount of material at our disposal, in the lives of those we meet, in what we see and feel, in what we discuss and from the passion of every woman Picture Quote #1

What I have to do is utilize as best I can the ideas which objects suggest to me, connect, fuse, and color in my way the shadows they cast within me, illumine them from the inside. And since of necessity my vision is quite different from that of the next man, my painting will interpret things in an entirely different manner even though it makes use of the same elements Picture Quote #1

It’s always necessary to seek for perfection. Obviously, for us, this word no longer has the same meaning. To me, it means: from one canvas to the next, always go further, further Picture Quote #1

When you see what you express through photography, you realize all the things that can no longer be the objectives of painting. Why should an artist persist in treating subjects that can be established so clearly with the lens of a camera? Picture Quote #1

Critics, mathematicians, scientists and busybodies want to classify everything, marking the boundaries and limits... In art, there is room for all possibilities Picture Quote #1

Painting isn’t a question of sensibility; it’s a matter of seizing the power, taking over from nature, not expecting her to supply you with information and good advice Picture Quote #1

I don’t know in advance what I am going to put on canvas any more than I decide beforehand what colours I am going to use Picture Quote #1

I must keep on trying, just to keep the experiment going until I get tired of it all. Even if the last result is not necessarily the best, I stop when my interest in the problem wanes Picture Quote #1

You can go to the moon or walk under the sea, or anything else you like, but painting remains painting because it eludes such investigation. It remains there like a question. And it alone gives the answer Picture Quote #1

If you take my sayings and explode them in the air, they remain only sayings. But if you fit them together in their correct places, you will have the whole story Picture Quote #1

Paintings are but research and experiment. I never do a painting as a work of art. All of them are researches. I search constantly and there is a logical sequence in all this research Picture Quote #1

The painter goes through states of fullness and evaluation. That is the whole secret of art Picture Quote #1

I have never had time for the idea of searching. Whenever I wanted to express something, I did so without thinking of the past or the future Picture Quote #1

I see for others... in order to put on canvas the sudden apparitions which come to me Picture Quote #1

No doubt, it is useful for an artist to know all the forms of art which have preceded or which accompany his. That is a sign of strength if it is a question of looking for a stimulus or recognizing mistakes he must avoid Picture Quote #1

The different styles I have been using in my art must not be seen as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting. Everything I have ever made was made for the present and with the hope that it would always remain in the present Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

You can’t escape your own period. Whether you take sides for or against, you’re always in it Picture Quote #1

What a trade! Poor painters! They always wish to be understood, and they are analysed instead Picture Quote #1

I consider a work of art as a product of calculations, calculations that are frequently unknown to the author himself Picture Quote #1

While I am working I am not conscious of what I am putting on the canvas Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Variation does not mean evolution. If an artist varies his mode of expression this only means that he has changed his manner of thinking, and in changing, it might be for the better or it might be for the worse Picture Quote #1

It isn’t up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words! The public who look at the picture must interpret the symbols as they understand them Picture Quote #1

I deal with painting as I deal with things, I paint a window just as I look out of a window. If an open window looks wrong in a picture, I draw the curtain and shut it, just as I would in my own room. In painting, as in life, you must act directly Picture Quote #1

Drink to me. Drink to my health. You know I can’t drink any more Picture Quote #1

I’m a joker who has understood his epoch and has extracted all he possibly could from the stupidity, greed and vanity of his contemporaries Picture Quote #1

Are we to paint what’s on the face, what’s inside the face, or what’s behind it? Picture Quote #1
