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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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