No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

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

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.

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

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

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

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

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.

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