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

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

A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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