Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known.
The painter tries to master color, but color is master of the painter.

Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.
Beauty is truth's smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror.
