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

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

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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