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

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

An artist is always alone - if he is an artist. No, what the artist needs is loneliness.

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

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

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.

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