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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
