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

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

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

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.

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

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

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