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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
