Pablo Picasso quotes about
I deal with painting as I deal with things, I paint a window just as I look out of a window. If an open window looks wrong in a picture, I draw the curtain and shut it, just as I would in my own room. In painting, as in life, you must act directly.
People who read are people who dream.
The connoisseur of painting gives only bad advice to the painter. For that reason I have given up trying to judge myself.
Painting is a jeu d'esprit.
The essential in this time of moral poverty is to create enthusiasm.
The more technique there is, the less there is
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.
Style is besides the point. Nobody would pay attention if one always said the same thing, in the same words and the same tone of voice.
All children paint like geniuses. What do we do to them that so quickly dulls this ability?
Everything we can dream can be real.
I have never made radically different experiments. Whenever I wanted to say something, I said it the way I believed I should.
A picture lives by its legend - not by anything else.
For my part, I can't do anything else but what I am doing.
I put in my pictures everything I like. So much the worse for the things - they have to get along with one another.
