Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.
No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.
Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
