Art is the right hand of Nature. The latter has only given us being, the former has made us men.

Of all lies, art is the least untrue.

Art is either plagiarism or revolution.

A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things, a poet in words, a musician by sounds.

Art is the daughter of freedom.

Every artist writes his own autobiography.

Great art picks up where nature ends.
