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

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

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

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

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

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

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

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

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

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
