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

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

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

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

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

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

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