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

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

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

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

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

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

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