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

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

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

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

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

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.
