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

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

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

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

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

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

The highest art is always the most religious, and the greatest artist is always a devout person.

The beginning is the most important part of the work.

A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession.
