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.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

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

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

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

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

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