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

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

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

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

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

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

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

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

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
