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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

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