An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

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