Painting is an infinitely minute part of my personality.

A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.

I cry out for order and find it only in art.

Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.

Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is simplicity.

Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.

Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.

There is nothing worse than a sharp image of a fuzzy concept.

The arts are an even better barometer of what is happening in our world than the stock market or the debates in congress.
