Biography (1881 - 1973), Cubism Art, Blue Period
Below you will find some paintings and quotes from the famous Spanish artist, Pablo Picasso. I will be adding more paintings and his life biography in the future. We also have a lovely page on the Philosophy of Art with a gallery of paintings and quotes from Renaissance and Impressionist Artists.
Enjoy!
From the moment that art ceases to be food that feeds the best minds, the
artist can use his talents to perform all the tricks of the intellectual
charlatan. Most people can today no longer expect to receive consolation
and exaltation from art. The 'refined,' the rich, the professional 'do-nothings',
the distillers of quintessence desire only the peculiar, the sensational,
the eccentric, the scandalous in today's art. I myself, since the advent
of Cubism, have fed these fellows what they wanted and satisfied these critics
with all the ridiculous ideas that have passed through my mind. The
less they understood them, the more they admired me. Through amusing
myself with all these absurd farces, I became celebrated, and very rapidly.
For a painter, celebrity means sales and consequent affluence. Today, as
you know, I am celebrated, I am rich. But when I am alone, I do not have
the effrontery to consider myself an artist at all, not in the grand old
meaning of the word: Giotto, Titian, Rembrandt, Goya were
great painters. I am only a public clown - a mountebank. I have
understood my time and have exploited the imbecility, the vanity, the greed
of my contemporaries. It is a bitter confession, this confession
of mine, more painful than it may seem. But at least and at last it does
have the merit of being honest. (Pablo Picasso, 1952)
Every
child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow
up.
(Pablo Picasso)
We all know that art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth. (Pablo Picasso)
Every act of construction is an act of destruction. (Pablo Picasso)
Painting is stronger than me, it makes me do its bidding. (Pablo Picasso)
When we discovered Cubism, we did not have the aim of discovering Cubism. We only wanted to express what was in us. (Pablo Picasso)
People want to find a "meaning" in everything and everyone. That's the disease of our age, an age that is anything but practical but believes itself to be more practical than any other age. (Pablo Picasso)
Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility. (Pablo Picasso)
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone. (Pablo Picasso)
I don't say everything, but I paint everything. (Pablo Picasso)
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary. (Pablo Picasso)
Art is the elimination of the unnecessary. (Pablo Picasso)
I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else. (Pablo Picasso)
The artist is a receptacle for the emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web. (Pablo Picasso)
Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun. (Pablo Picasso)
The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls. (Pablo Picasso)

Help Humanity
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
(Mohandas Gandhi)
"When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence:
Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter. ... Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended. In this way the concept 'empty space' loses its meaning. ... The particle can only appear as a limited region in space in which
the field strength or the energy density are particularly high. ...
The free, unhampered exchange of ideas and scientific conclusions is necessary for the sound development of science, as it is in all spheres
of cultural life. ... We must not conceal from ourselves that no improvement in the present depressing situation is possible without
a severe struggle; for the handful of those who are really determined to do something is minute in comparison with the mass of the lukewarm
and the misguided. ...
Humanity is going to need a substantially new way of thinking if it is to survive!" (Albert Einstein)
Our world is in great trouble due to human behaviour founded on myths and customs that are causing the destruction of Nature and climate change. We can now deduce the most simple science theory of reality - the wave structure of matter in space. By understanding how we and everything around us are interconnected
in Space we can then deduce solutions to the fundamental problems of human knowledge in physics, philosophy, metaphysics, theology, education, health, evolution and ecology, politics and society.
This is the profound new way of thinking that Einstein
realised, that we exist as spatially extended structures of the universe - the discrete and separate body an illusion. This simply confirms the
intuitions of the ancient philosophers and mystics.
Given the current censorship in physics / philosophy of science journals (based on the standard model of particle physics / big bang cosmology) the internet is the best hope for getting new knowledge
known to the world. But that depends on you, the people who care about science and society, realise the importance of truth and reality.

Just click on the Social Network links below, or copy a nice image or quote you like and share it. We have a wonderful collection of knowledge from the greatest minds in human history, so people will appreciate your contributions. In doing this you will help a new generation of scientists see that there is a simple sensible explanation of physical reality - the source of truth and wisdom, the only cure for the madness of man!

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. (Max Planck, 1920)
