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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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