"Art is the elimination of the unnecessary...." - Quote by Pablo Picasso

“When German soldiers used to come to my studio and look at my pictures of Guernica, they'd ask 'Did you do this?'. And I'd say, 'No, you did.'”

“The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting.”

“If everybody is looking for it, then nobody is finding it. If we were cultured, we would not be conscious of lacking culture. We would regard it as something natural and would not make so much fuss about it. And if we knew the real value of this word we would be cultured enough not to give it so much importance.”

“I simply painted images of what was before my eyes; it is for others to find hidden meaning in them.”

“Art isn't done to decorate apartments, but to wage war against the enemy.”

“The Muse is mute when public menApplaud a modern throne.”

“When you catch an adjective, kill it.”

“Think as wise men do, but speak as the common people do.”

“Any man who can take a TV wall apart and put it back together again, and most men can nowadays, is happier than any man who tries to slide-rule, measure, and equate the universe, which just won't be measured or equated without making man feel bestial and lonely.”
