Pablo Picasso

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

Art is the elimination of the unnecessary

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

@AvantGardeNude Art is a lie that helps us see the truth.

@IvanJaddou things move more slowly here. You will see for yourself one day.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

I would like to prevent people from seeing how a picture of mine was done. What can it matter? I want emotion to be the only thing emanating

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

If you take my sayings & explode them in the air they're only sayings. But if you fit them together correctly, you will have the whole story

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

We make things for somebody. The idea of art for art's sake is a hoax.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

If there were only one truth, you couldn't paint a hundred canvases on the same theme.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

Freedom. You must be very careful with that. In painting as in everything else. Whatever you do, you find yourself once more in chains.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

@safetyphoto There is no encounter without injury.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

@davegray @counternotions What ideas and conclusions you have got I obtained too, but instinctively, unconsciously http://tinyurl.com/okbx5o

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

Action is the foundational key to all success.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

It isn’t up to the painter to define the symbols. Otherwise it would be better if he wrote them out in so many words!

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

@safetyphoto Accidents, try to change them -- it's impossible. The accidental reveals man.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

@safetyphoto I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

Work is a necessity for man. Man invented the alarm clock.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

To copy others is necessary, but to copy oneself is pathetic.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

One must act in painting as in life, directly.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not.

[Pablo Picasso @TheCubist]

Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone.
