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

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

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

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

True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
