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

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

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

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun.

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

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