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

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

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.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

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

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

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

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