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

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

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

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

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

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.

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

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

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.
