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

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

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

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.

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

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

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

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

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