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.

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

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

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

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

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

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

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.

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