If you don't know what color to take, take black.

Everyone wants to understand art. Why not try to understand the song of a bird? ...people who try to explain pictures are usually barking up the wrong tree.

The earth doesn't have a housekeeper to do the dusting.

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.

What I want is that my picture should evoke nothing but emotion.

Everything exists in limited quantity - especially happiness.

The only thing emanating from my pictures should be emotion.
