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

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

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

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

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

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

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

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

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

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