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

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

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

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.

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

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

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

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

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