Why should I copy this owl, this sea urchin? Why should I try to imitate nature? I might just as well try to trace a perfect circle.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Let them understand above all ...

Let them understand above all that the artist works from necessity; that he, too, is a minute element of the world to whom one should ascribe no more importance than so many things in nature which charm us but which we do not explain to ourselves.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Imitators? All right! Disciple...

Imitators? All right! Disciples if you like. But disciples be damned. It's not interesting.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

The only pictorial matter that...

The only pictorial matter that is of interest to me is the matter and sentiments brought about by the work itself.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

You see these thick curtains shut out the daylight: artificial light suits me a great deal better; it's absolutely steady, and much more exciting.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

If you have five elements avai...

If you have five elements available use only four. If you have four elements use three.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

If I paint a hammer and sickle...

If I paint a hammer and sickle people may think it is a representation of Communism, but for me it is only a hammer and sickle. I just want to reproduce the objects for what they are, not for what they mean.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

An artist must be very careful...

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.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Motivation is in the world aro...

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.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

What I have to do is utilize a...

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.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Paradise is to love many thing...

Paradise is to love many things with a passion.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

It's always necessary to seek ...

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...

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

When you see what you express ...

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?

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

I am a communist and my painti...

I am a communist and my painting is a communist painting. But if I were a shoemaker, Royalist or Communist or anything else, I would not necessarily hammer my shoes in any special way to show my politics.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

If everyone would paint, polit...

If everyone would paint, political re-education would be unnecessary.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

When one starts from a portrai...

When one starts from a portrait and seeks by successive eliminations to find pure form... one inevitably ends up with an egg.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

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

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Painting isn't a question of s...

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.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

I don't know in advance what I...

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.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

I must keep on trying, just to...

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.
