Pablo Picasso quotes about
I used to draw like Raphael, but it has taken me a whole lifetime to learn to draw like a child
The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web.
I am always doing things I can't do, that's how I get to do them.
One starts to get young at sixty, and then it's too late
I should like to live like a poor man, with a great deal of money
Matisse makes a drawing, then he makes a copy of it. He recopies it five times, ten times, always clarifying the line. He's convinced that the last, the most stripped down, is the best, the purest, the definitive one; and in fact, most of the time, it was the first. In drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt.
Anything new, anything worth doing, can't be recognized. People just don't have that much vision.
One does a whole painting for one peach and people think just the opposite -- that particular peach is but a detail.
All things considered, there is only Matisse.
Drawing is a kind of hypnotism: one looks in such a way at the model, that he comes and takes a seat on the paper.
We are all born children- the trick is remaining one.
When I was a kid I drew like Michelangelo. It took me years to learn to draw like a kid.
Good artists copy, great artists steal.
It is important to remember that great things have no fear of time. We've got to let go of the idea that what we want to manifest has to be done on our time schedule.
