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

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

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

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

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

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.

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

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

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