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

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

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

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

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

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

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

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