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

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

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.

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

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

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

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

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