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

No great artist ever sees things as they really are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist.

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

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

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.

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

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

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.

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