"Art is a finger up the bourgeoisie..." - Quote by Pablo Picasso

“I consider a work of art as a product of calculations, calculations that are frequently unknown to the author himself.”

“Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? no. Just as one can never learn how to paint.”

“Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?”

“True, there are architects so called in this country, and I have heard of one at least possessed with the idea of making architectural ornaments have a core of truth, a necessity, and hence a beauty, as if it were a revelation to him. All very well perhaps from his point of view, but only a little better than the common dilettantism.”

“If art is to have a special train, the critic must keep some seats reserved on it.”

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

“Whenever you see a board up with "Trespassers will be prosecuted," trespass at once.”

“Disobedience is man's original virtue.”

“Conformists die, but heretics live forever.”
