Art is man's expression of his joy in labor.

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.

A great artist is always before his time or behind it.

Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything.

Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum.

Abstract art: a product of the untalented sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.

The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.

When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.

Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first.

I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own.
