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

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

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

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

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.

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

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

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

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