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

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

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

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

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

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

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

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

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

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.
