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

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

Art is a step from what is obvious and well-known toward what is arcane and concealed.

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

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

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

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.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

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