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

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

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

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

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

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

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
