The purpose of art
The most prolific artist in history, Pablo Picasso, was impeccably clean, washing the dust of daily life off incessantly.

Picasso was brilliant but a terrible student; like so many creative personalities and independent thinkers, he could not abide being told what to do. As a consequent, he was often thrown into detention, but to him it was a sanctuary.
For being a bad student I was banished to the ‘calaboose’ – a bare cell with whitewashed walls and a bench to sit on. I liked it there, because I took along a sketch pad and drew incessantly … I could have stayed there forever drawing without stopping”
~ Pablo Picasso
🔗 Collection of work




Pablo Picasso is recognized as the world’s most prolific painter. His career spanned over a 78 year period, in which he created: 13,500 paintings, 100,000 prints and engravings, and 34,000 illustrations which were used in books. He also produced 300 sculptures and ceramic pieces during this expansive career. It is also estimated that over 350 pieces which he created during his career, have been stolen; this is a figure that is far higher than any other artist throughout history.
It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.
~ Pablo Picasso
