Pablo Picasso

The artist who is a master of his craft is not a slave to it.

I don't search, I find.

To make a painting, you must have an idea. To have an idea, you must have a life.

The artist is a kind of a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place.

Art is never chaste. It is a game, a game of the senses, a game of the spirit.

I am only a public entertainer who has understood his time.

The fact that a painter is a communist or a monarchist has nothing to do with whether he's a good painter or not.

One must act in painting as in life, directly.

The artist is a man who is interested in everything and nothing.

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.

It takes a long time to become young.

Action is the foundational key to all success.

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

Everything you can imagine is real.

We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.

Sculpture is the art of the hole and the lump.

The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape.

Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.

Why do you think I date everything I do? I put the date on everything because everything changes.
