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

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

Without freedom, no art art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

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

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

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

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

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

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