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

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

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

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

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

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

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

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

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