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

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.

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

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

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