- Quotations
- 'Artists who live and work with spiritual values cannot and must not remain indifferent to a conflict in which the highest values of humanity and civilisation are at stake.' (Pablo Picasso)
"Because, I am proud to say, I have never considered painting to be a mere pleasurable distraction; what I have tried to do with drawing and colour, since these are my weapons, is to penetrate even further into the depths of ... (show all)knowledge of the world and of people, so that this knowledge may liberate us a little more every day." (Pablo Picasso)
'In the end, there's only love.' (Pablo Picasso) - Original language
