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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

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