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

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

Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse.

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

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

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

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

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

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