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

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

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.

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

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

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

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

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

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