"Are we to paint what's on the..." - Quote by Pablo Picasso

“We don't grow older, we grow riper.”

“We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.”

“People are always asking me to sign my old canvases. It's ridiculous!”

“How are we to writeThe Russian novel in AmericaAs long as life goes so unterribly?”

“What portion in the world can the artist have, Who has awakened from the common dream, But dissipation and despair?”

“To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.”

“Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.”

“Painting is concerned with all the 10 attributes of sight; which are: Darkness, Light, Solidity and Colour, Form and Position, Distance and Propinquity, Motion and Rest.”

“Painting predicates what man wants to see, and what man ought to see, not what he ordinarily sees.”
