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

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

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

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.

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

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

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.

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