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

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

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

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.

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