Pablo Picasso quotes about
Through education comes understanding. Through understanding comes true appreciation. All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.
What do you think an artist is An imbecile who has only his eyes if he is a painter, or his ears if he is a musician, or a lyre at every level of his heart if he is a poet, or, if he is merely a boxer, only his muscle On the contrary, he is at the same time a political being, constantly alert to the heartrending, burning, or happy events in the world, molding himself in their likeness.
There's nothing more difficult than a line.
If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!
Action is the foundation of all success.
When we discovered cubism, we did not have the aim of discovering cubism. We only wanted to express what was in us.
If you know exactly what you're going to do, what's the good in doing it?
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.
...why did Plato say that poets should be chased out of the republic? Precisely because every poet and every artist is an antisocial being. He's not that way because he wants to be; he can't be any other way.... and if he really is an artist it is in his nature not to want to be admitted, because if he is admitted it can only mean he is doing something which is understood, approved, and therefore old hat - worthless. Anything new, anything worth doing, can't be recognized.
If you don't know what color to take, take black.....
I am always making that what I am not capable, in an attempt to learn how to doing it.
Whether he wants it or not, man is the instrument of nature; she imposes on him character and appearance.
Anything new, anything worth doing, can't be recognized.
