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

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

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

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

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

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

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

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

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