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

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

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

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

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

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

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

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

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