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

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

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

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.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

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

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

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

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