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

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

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

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

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

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

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

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
