Pictures Quotes

Art is the need to create; but in its essence, immense and universal, it is impatient of working with lame or tied hands, and of making cripples and monsters, such as all pictures and statues are. Nothing less than the creation of man and nature is its end Picture Quote #1

A painter was asked why, since he made such beautiful figures, which were but dead things, his children were so ugly; to which the painter replied that he made his pictures by day, and his children by night 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

Just as a musician loves music and not nightingales, and a poet loves poetry and not sunsets, a painter is not primarily a person who responds to figures and landscapes. He is primarily one who loves pictures Picture Quote #1

The best pictures are always those one dreams of when one is smoking a pipe in bed, but which never get done. But still one ought to try, however incompetent one may feel before the unspeakable perfection and radiant splendour of nature Picture Quote #1

Sometimes people accuse me of being incomprehensible only because they look for an explicative side to my pictures which is not there Picture Quote #1

Acting is like painting pictures on bathroom tissues. Ten minutes later you throw them away and they are gone Picture Quote #1

Loads of people, particularly artists, hate pretty pictures. Now I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like a pretty face Picture Quote #1

The pictures on the walls aren’t like movies. They don’t move, they don’t talk, and they’ll last longer. They will last longer Picture Quote #1

For a painter as abstract as myself, the collages offer a way of incorporating bits of the everyday world into pictures Picture Quote #1

All pictures painted inside in the studio will never be as good as the things done outside Picture Quote #1

I do not see in what manner practice alone can be sufficient for the production of correct, excellent, and finished pictures. Works deserving this character never were produced, nor ever will arise, from memory alone Picture Quote #1

Last night I dreamed that I came face to face with a picture I had done and forgotten, a forest done in simple movement, just forms of trees moving in space. That is the third time I have seen pictures in my dreams, a glint of what I am striving to attain Picture Quote #1

Memorizing, guessing, looking at pictures, predicting, substituting, and skipping, are not reading; they are very bad habits Picture Quote #1

I work from the people that interest me, and that I care about, in rooms that I live in and know. I use the people to invent my pictures, and I can work more freely when they are there Picture Quote #1

For all the years I’d spent talking about pictures, the truth was that I had no idea how to draw or what it felt like to do it. I would mistrust a poetry critic who couldn’t produce a rhyming couplet. Could one write about art without knowing how to draw? Picture Quote #1

A lot of people... are afraid of pictures which have visible emotions in them. They feel calmer in front of pictures which are placid Picture Quote #1

Minute and elaborately finished pictures never strongly impress the mind, and are but mere curiosities to gratify persons insensible to higher excellencies Picture Quote #1

I’m interested only in expressing basic human emotions. And the fact that a lot of people break down and cry when confronted with my pictures shows that I can communicate these basic human emotions Picture Quote #1

Pictures must be miraculous: the instant one is completed, the intimacy between the creation and the creator is ended Picture Quote #1

Those who try to combat the production of shoddy pictures are enemies of the best art today... It always feels tragic to see people labouring to saw off the branch they are sitting on Picture Quote #1

I begin my pictures under the effect of a shock which I feel and which makes me escape from reality... I need a point of departure, even if it’s only a speck of dust or a flash of light Picture Quote #1

The artist who pictures sounds as colours, who feels the difference in microns between one sea green and another... is not attending to what the world considers important Picture Quote #1

That is why my pictures don’t look like modern art. It’s some sort of timidity on my part I’m sure Picture Quote #1

I’m not fashionable at all, and the fact that I manage to sell pictures without being fashionable is thanks to my gallery Picture Quote #1

Man needs spiritual expression and nourishing... even in the prehistoric era, people would scrawl pictures of bison on the walls of caves Picture Quote #1

I had now made about 45 pictures, but what had I become? I knew all too well: a phallic symbol. All over the world I was, as a name and personality, equated with sex Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe in playing down to children, either in life or in motion pictures. I didn’t treat my own youngsters like fragile flowers, and I think no parent should Picture Quote #1

You know, the only way I’ve found to make these pictures is with animators. You can’t seem to do it with accountants and bookkeepers Picture Quote #1

I don’t pretend to know anything about art. I make pictures for entertainment, and then the professors tell me what they mean Picture Quote #1
