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

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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

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

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

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

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

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