The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.
Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.
