Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
