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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 only way to run away without leaving home.
