Pablo Picasso
Pablo PicassoAbstract art is non existant. You must always start with something from which you remove all traces of reality such that the idea of the object necessarily leaves an indelible mark.
Abstraction is a thing which, in order to arrive at, it is always necessary to begin with a concrete reality.
Art is not chaste. Those ill prepared should be allowed no contact with art. Art is dangerous. If it is chaste, it is not art.
An Artist is an imbecile who has only his eyes if he is a painter, or his ears if he is a musician, but he is at the same time a political being, constantly alert to the heartrending, burning, or happy events in the world, molding himself in their likeness.
Color delights in contrast. For some unknown reason, two colors, when put next to one another, sing.
God is another artist who, having invented the giraffe, the elephant, and the cat, has no real style, but goes on trying other things.
Modern art is no reason to paint pictures that make sense in a world today which makes no sense.
The Painter's eyes ought to be put out, just as they do to goldfinches in order that they can sing better.
