When the individuality of the ...

When the individuality of the artist begins to express itself, what the artist gains in the way of liberty he loses in the way of order.

For my part, I can't do anything else but what I am doing.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

The people no longer seek cons...

The people no longer seek consolation in art. But the refined people, the rich, the idlers seek the new, the extraordinary, the extravagant, the scandalous. I have contented these people with all the many bizarre things that come into my head. And the less they understand, the more they admire it. By amusing myself with all these games, all this nonsense, all these picture puzzles, I became famous... I am only a public entertainer who has understood his time.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

I put in my pictures everythin...

I put in my pictures everything I like. So much the worse for the things - they have to get along with one another.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

The goal I proposed myself in ...

The goal I proposed myself in making cubism? To paint and nothing more... with a method linked only to my thought... Neither the good nor the true; neither the useful nor the useless.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Today we haven't the heart to ...

Today we haven't the heart to expel the painters and poets from society because we refuse to admit to ourselves that there is any danger in keeping them in our midst.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

A good picture, any picture, h...

A good picture, any picture, has to be bristling with razor blades.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Academic training in beauty is...

Academic training in beauty is a sham. We have been so deceived, but so well deceived that we can scarcely get back even a shadow of the truth.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Unless your work gives you tro...

Unless your work gives you trouble, it is no good.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

You mustn't expect me to repea...

You mustn't expect me to repeat myself. My past doesn't interest me. I would rather copy others than copy myself. In that way I should at least be giving them something new. I love discovering things.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

The trouble is, we've been tau...

The trouble is, we've been taught what to see and how to render what we see. If only we could be in the position of those men who did those wonderful drawings in Lascaux and Altimira!

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

People don't realize what they...

People don't realize what they have when they own a picture by me. Each picture is a phial with my blood. That is what has gone into it.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

I have never made radically di...

I have never made radically different experiments. Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

And fame, for a painter means ...

And fame, for a painter means sales, gains, fortune, riches. And today, as you know, I am celebrated. I am rich.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

The secret of many of my defor...

The secret of many of my deformations - which many people do not understand - is that there is an interaction, an intereffect between the lines in a painting: one line attracts the other and at the point of maximum attraction the lines curve in toward the attracting point and form is altered.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

From the point of view of art,...

From the point of view of art, there are no concrete or abstract forms, but only forms which are more or less convincing lies.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

To me there is no past or futu...

To me there is no past or future in art. If a work of art does not live in the present, it must not be considered at all.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

There's no such thing as a bad Picasso, but some are less good than others.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Titian, Rembrandt and Goya were the great painters. I am only a public clown.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

What I find horrible nowadays ...

What I find horrible nowadays is that people are always trying to find a personality for themselves. Nobody bothers about what you might call a painter's ideal... the kind that's always existed... No. They couldn't care less about that.
