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

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

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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