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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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