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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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