Claude Picasso

I think working with the primal elements of fire and earth appealed greatly to my father because of the almost magical results. ”

My father had been an avid fan of Chaplin during the silent film days, but when the talkies came along, my father lost all interest in movies. ”

I'm not going to run around uselessly spending money. It's a matter of choosing your charity. Some people choose themselves. For me, that is not enough. ”

Pablo Picasso was generous. But he always signed and dedicated his gifts even when he knew that people would sell them because they needed the money. ”

I loved being my father's audience and watching him in front of the mirror as he talked to himself made up like a clown. ”

Blank paper always symbolizes the anxiety of the painter. ”

I don't give a damn about the money. I earn my living well enough. ”

I think what I most admired about my father was his extraordinary courage. He had such energy to pursue whatever he wanted, and he really didn't care what others thought. ”

I think it's a pity for him that my father didn't have the pleasure of seeing me grow up. I think he missed out on something. But it doesn't matter. It's boring. I don't have any anger about it. ”

My mother tells me that I was a very busy, curious child and that I quite often challenged my father when I was little, which she thought was rather good for him! ”
