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

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

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

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

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

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

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

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

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
