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

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

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

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

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

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

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

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

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

Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun.
