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

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

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

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

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

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

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

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

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
