What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only his eyes if he's a painter, or ears if he's a musician, or a lyre at every level of his heart if he's a poet, or even, if he's a boxer, just his muscles? On the contrary, he's at the same time a political being, constantly alive to heart-rending, burning, or happy events in the world.
Pablo PicassoI simply painted images of what was before my eyes; it is for others to find hidden meaning in them.
Pablo PicassoNo, painting is not interior decoration. It is an instrument of war for attack and defense against the enemy.
