Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. – Pablo Picasso
To finish a work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it, to kill it, to rid it of its soul, to give it its final blow the coup de grace for the painter as well as for the picture. – Pablo Picasso
God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant and the cat. He has no real style. He just goes on trying other things. – Pablo Picasso
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, from a spiders web. – Pablo Picasso
