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

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.

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

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

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

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.

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

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

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