Pablo Picasso quotes about
I am only a public entertainer who understands his time.
You're either a goddess ... or a doormat.
Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.
Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.
Is there anything more dangerous than sympathetic understanding?
What do you think an artist is? ...he is a political being, constantly aware of the heart breaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.
Every now and then one paints a picture that seems to have opened a door and serves as a stepping stone to other things.
Work is a necessity for man. Man invented the alarm clock.
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?
Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?
The older you get the stronger the wind gets and it's always in your face.
Give me a museum and I'll fill it.
To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic.
