Art is like ham-it nourishes people.

Art is like ham-it nourishes people.

The artist must try to raise the level of taste of the masses, not debase himself to the level of unformed and impoverished taste.

To be an artist, one must . . . never shirk from the truth as he understands it, never withdraw from life

July 13, 1954 was the most tragic day of my life. I had lost my beloved Frida forever. To late now I realized that the most wonderful part of my life had been my love for Frida.

Looking back upon my work today, I think the best I have done grew out of things deeply felt, the worst from a pride in mere talent.

Only the work of art itself can raise the standard of taste.
