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

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.
