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

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

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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