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

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.
