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

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.

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

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

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

It is through art, and through art only, that we can realise our perfection.

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

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

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