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

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

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

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

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

The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls.

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

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

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

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