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

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

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

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

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

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

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

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

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

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