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

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

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

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

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

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

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

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

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

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.
