I go for a walk in the forest ...

I go for a walk in the forest of Fontainebleau. I get 'green' indigestion. I must get rid of this sensation into a picture. Green rules it. A painter paints to unload himself of feelings and visions.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

You can go to the moon or walk...

You can go to the moon or walk under the sea, or anything else you like, but painting remains painting because it eludes such investigation. It remains there like a question. And it alone gives the answer.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

If you take my sayings and exp...

If you take my sayings and explode them in the air, they remain only sayings. But if you fit them together in their correct places, you will have the whole story.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

You have to start somewhere. Y...

You have to start somewhere. You can always erase reality later on.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Reality is to be found in ligh...

Reality is to be found in lightness and darkness.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Paintings are but research and...

Paintings are but research and experiment. I never do a painting as a work of art. All of them are researches. I search constantly and there is a logical sequence in all this research.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

To blossom forth, a work of ar...

To blossom forth, a work of art must ignore or rather forget all the rules.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

The painter goes through state...

The painter goes through states of fullness and evaluation. That is the whole secret of art.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

I have never had time for the ...

I have never had time for the idea of searching. Whenever I wanted to express something, I did so without thinking of the past or the future.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

I see for others... in order t...

I see for others... in order to put on canvas the sudden apparitions which come to me.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

No doubt, it is useful for an ...

No doubt, it is useful for an artist to know all the forms of art which have preceded or which accompany his. That is a sign of strength if it is a question of looking for a stimulus or recognizing mistakes he must avoid.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

The different styles I have be...

The different styles I have been using in my art must not be seen as an evolution, or as steps towards an unknown ideal of painting. Everything I have ever made was made for the present and with the hope that it would always remain in the present.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Even if the painting is green,...

Even if the painting is green, well then! The 'subject' is the green. There is always a subject; it's a joke to suppress the subject, it's impossible.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

Different themes inevitably re...

Different themes inevitably require different methods of expression. This does not imply either evolution or progress; it is a matter of following the idea one wants to express and the way in which one wants to express it.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

We now know that Art is not th...

We now know that Art is not the truth... but rather a way of approaching the truth.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

You can't escape your own peri...

You can't escape your own period. Whether you take sides for or against, you're always in it.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

What a trade! Poor painters! T...

What a trade! Poor painters! They always wish to be understood, and they are analysed instead.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

I consider a work of art as a ...

I consider a work of art as a product of calculations, calculations that are frequently unknown to the author himself.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

What I achieve the first day c...

What I achieve the first day can be perfectly valid, but it is not satisfying. If I can go that far spontaneously, then I must shed that result as an old skin and inquire further into the unknown, or at least the not-yet-known-to-myself.

Pablo Picasso 516 quotes

While I am working I am not co...

While I am working I am not conscious of what I am putting on the canvas.
