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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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