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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.
