Today's topic is Pablo Picasso.
Some brilliantly delicious quotes from the Master:
"My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso."
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."
“There are painters who transform the sun to a yellow spot, but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence, transform a yellow spot into sun”
“Bad artists copy. Good artists steal.”
“It takes a very long time to become young.”
“If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!”
“To draw, you must close your eyes and sing”
“Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.”
“It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”
“The world doesn't make sense, so why should I paint pictures that do?”
“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 spider's web. ”
"I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it."
"Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working."
"For a long time I limited myself to one color – as a form of discipline."
"Paradise is to love many things with a passion."
"Because I cannot work except in solitude, it is necessary that I live my work and that is impossible except in solitude."
"I like all painting. I always look at the paintings – good or bad – in barbershops, furniture stores, provincial hotels... I'm like a drinker who needs wine. As long as it is wine, it doesn't matter which wine."
"Often while reading a book one feels that the author would have preferred to paint rather than write; one can sense the pleasure he derives from describing a landscape or a person, as if he were painting what he is saying, because deep in his heart he would have preferred to use brushes and colors."
Happy Drawing :)
