I paint the way someone bites ...

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.

Action is the foundation of all success.

If I had known there was such a thing as Islamic Calligraphy, I would never have started to paint. I have strived to reach the highest levels of artistic mastery, but I found that Islamic Calligraphy was there ages before I was.

Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.

When I paint I feel that all the artists of the past are behind me.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

When you start with a portrait...

When you start with a portrait and try to find pure form by abstracting more and more, you must end up with an egg.

We must pick out what is good for us where we can find it.

Art is not chaste. Those ill prepared should be allowed no contact with art. Art is dangerous. If it is chaste, it is not art.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Everyone wants to understand art. Why not try to understand the song of a bird? Why does one love the night, flowers, everything around one, without trying to understand them? But in the case of a painting people have to understand. If only they would realize above all that an artist works of necessity, that he himself is only a trifling bit of the world, and that no more importance should be attached to him than to plenty of other things which please us in the world, though we can't explain them. People who try to exp

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.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

What does it mean for a painte...

What does it mean for a painter to paint in the manner of So-and-So or to actually imitate someone else? What's wrong with that? On the contrary, it's a good idea. You should constantly try to paint like someone else. But the thing is, you can't! You would like to. You try. But it turns out to be a botch... And it's at the very moment you make a botch of it that you're yourself.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Braque always said that the only thing that counts, in painting, is the intention, and it's true. What counts is what one wants to do, and not what one does. That's what's important.

It means nothing to me. I have no opinion about it, and I don't care.

Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

You know, it's just like being...

You know, it's just like being a peddler. You want two breasts? Well, here you are -- two breasts. We must see to it that the man looking at the picture has at hand everything he needs to paint a nude. If you really give him everything he needs -- and the best -- he'll put everything where it belongs, with his own eyes. Each person will make for himself the kind of nude he wants, with the nude that I will have made for him.

Two of the most frustrated trades are dentists and photographers - dentists because they want to be doctors, and photographers because they want to be painters.

No, painting is not interior decoration. It is an instrument of war for attack and defense against the enemy.

When they say that I am too old to make a thing, I try to make it immediately.
