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

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

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

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

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

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.

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

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.

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