Quotes of the Day for 25 October 2004 - Picasso

Pablo Picasso Ruiz was born at Malaga, Spain on this day in 1881. Legend says that young Picasso once painted a picture so compelling that his artist father gathered up his own brushes and gave them to the son, never to paint again. He pursued, many would say mastered, a dizzying sequence of artistic styles and media. His painting, sculpture, pottery, and printmaking had a profound effect on the world of art, his comments along the way are fairly profound as well.

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.

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.

Taste is the enemy of creativeness.

Well, youth is the period of assumed personalities and disguises. It is the time of the sincerely insincere.

Painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.
     - All from Pablo Picasso, 1881 - 1973
