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

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

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

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

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

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

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

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

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

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