The beautiful is in nature, and it is encountered under the most diverse forms of reality.
There are no rules. That is how art is born, how breakthroughs happen. Go against the rules or ignore the rules. That is what invention is about.
Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.
The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.
Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.
