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

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

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

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

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

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

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

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

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