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

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

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

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.

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

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

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

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

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

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