...art is something subversive...

...art is something subversive. It's something that should not be free. Art and liberty, like the fire of Prometheus, are things that one must steal, to be used against the established order.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Everybody has the same energy ...

Everybody has the same energy potential. The average person wastes his in a dozen little ways. I bring mine to bear on one thing only: my paintings, and everything else is sacrificed to it...myself included.

Something sacred, that's it. We ought to be able to say that such and such a painting is as it is, with its capacity for power, because it is 'touched by God.'

If I spit, they will take my spit and frame it as great art.

The purpose of Art is to create enthusiasm.

There's nothing worse than a brilliant beginning.

That inspiration comes, does not depend on me. The only thing I can do is make sure it catches me working.

To know what you're going to draw, you have to begin drawing.

If I could say this I wouldn't have to paint.

Art is a leap into the dark.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

You cannot go against nature. ...

You cannot go against nature. She is stronger than the strongest of men. We can permit ourselves some liberties, but in details only.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Whether he wants it or not, man is the instrument of nature; she imposes on him character and appearance.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

When we did Cubist paintings, ...

When we did Cubist paintings, our intention was not to produce Cubist paintings but to express what was within us. No one laid down a course of action for us, and our friends the poets followed our endeavour attentively but they never dictated it to us.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Those who attempts to explain a picture are on the wrong track most of the time.

The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting.

The academic teaching on beauty is false. We have been misled, but so completely misled that we can no longer find so much as a shadow of a truth again. The beauties of the Parthenon, the Venuses, the Nymphs, the Narcisusses, are so may lies. Art is not the application of a canon of beauty, but what the instinct and the brain can conceive independently of that canon.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

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.

I don't work from nature, I work like nature.

There are more copies than originals among people.
