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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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