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

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

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

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

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