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

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

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

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

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

If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.

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

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

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

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