Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France.
Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist
It takes a very long time to become young
The chief enemy of creativity is good sense
Ah, good taste! What a dreadful thing! Taste is the enemy of creativeness
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life
Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love
I am not apt to follow blindly the lead of other men
Death and life have their determined appointments; riches and honors depend upon heaven
Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance
You are my favorite distraction
