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

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

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

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

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

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

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.
