The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

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

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

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 aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

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

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

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