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

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

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

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

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

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

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

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

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

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