"Drawing is a kind of hypnotism: one..." - Quote by Pablo Picasso

“I do not seek. I find.”

“When I am told I am too old to do something, I try to do it right away.”

“Style is often something which locks the painter into the same vision, the same technique, the same formula during years and years, sometimes during one's whole lifetime.”

“The light for drawing from nature should come from the North in order that it may not vary. And if you have it from the South, keep the window screened with cloth, so that with the sun shining the whole day the light may not vary. The height of the light so arranged as that every object shall cast a shadow on the ground of the same length as itself.”

“Drawing is based upon perspective, which is nothing else than a thorough knowledge of the function of the eye.”

“Rhythm is a perception of time... when drawing, the tiredness of the hand is a rhythm.”

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

“In music the passions enjoy themselves.”

“Experimentation is the key to 'lively up' the art.”
