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

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

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

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

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

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

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

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

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

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