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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

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

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

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

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

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

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