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

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

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

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

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

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

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

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

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.
