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

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.

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

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

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

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

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