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

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

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

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

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

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.

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

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