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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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