Famous quotes by pablo picasso:

“You mustn’t always believe what I say. Questions tempt you to tell lies, particularly when there is no answer.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)

“Matisse makes a drawing, then he makes a copy of it. He recopies it five times, ten times, always clarifying the line. He’s convinced that the last, the most stripped down, is the best, the purest, the definitive one; and in fact, most of the time, it was the first. In drawing, nothing is better than the first attempt.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)

“What might be taken for a precocious genius is the genius of childhood. When the child grows up, it disappears without a trace. It may happen that this boy will become a real painter some day, or even a great painter. But then he will have to begin everything again, from zero.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)

“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.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)

“I who have been involved with all styles of painting can assure you that the only things that fluctuate are the waves of fashion which carry the snobs and speculators; the number of true connoisseurs remains more or less the same.”
—Pablo Picasso (1881–1973)
