Life is short and art is long.

A picture is a poem without words.

Art is not a thing; it is a way.

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.

The artist, ... faithful to his personal vision of reality, becomes the last champion of the individual mind and sensibility against an intrusive society and an offensive state.

It's clever, but is it Art?

Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.

When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you, do not look for any other standard to judge by: the work is good, the product of a master craftsman.

Art is objectification of feeling.

The artist is like a hunter who must be on his toes at all times, with eyes and ears fully open to respond to the anxious signals the world sends out.
