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

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

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

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

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

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

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.
