The beginning is the most important part of the work.

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

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

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

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

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

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

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

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.
