True art is characterized by an irresistible urge in the creative artist.

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.

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

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

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

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

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

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

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