I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them.
From Pablo Picasso
It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.
I have a horror of people who speak about the beautiful. What is the beautiful? One must speak of problems in painting!
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.
One must act in painting as in life, directly.
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.
Is there anything more dangerous than sympathetic understanding?
Painting is a blind man's profession. He paints not what he sees, but what he feels, what he tells himself about what he has seen.
