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

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

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.

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

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

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
