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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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