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

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

An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have.

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

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

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.

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.

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.
