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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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