Pablo Picasso

I want to make a picture, and I want to make a picture that will make other pictures.

It's not what the artist does that counts, but what he is.

Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.

I don't say everything, but I paint everything.

The world today doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?

What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only eyes if he is a painter, ears if he is a musician, or a lyre at every floor of his heart if he is a poet?

I paint forms as I think them, not as I see them.

Give me a museum and I'll fill it.

The chief enemy of creativity is 'good' sense.

I want to make a picture that will make other pictures.

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

We don't grow older, we grow riper.

The artist is a political being.

It is not enough to know the works of art. One must also know the life of the artist.

I am a communist and I am a painter. I am a Picasso.

I'd like to live as a poor man with a lot of money.

The artist is a man who is interested in everything.

I would like to live like a poor man with a lot of money.

I paint the way I breathe.

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