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

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

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

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

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

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

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

The artist who aims at perfection in everything achieves it in nothing.
