It is after you have lost your teeth that you can afford to buy steaks.

And if out of a million visitors there is even one to whom art means something, that is enough to justify museums.

It's with my brush that I make love.

Shall I tell you what I think are the two qualities of a work of art? First, it must be indescribable, and second, it must be inimitable.

An artist must eat sparingly and give up a normal way of life.

The purpose of painting is to decorate the walls. Therefore it has to be as rich as possible

There are two indices of genuine art: it is inimitable and it is ineffable.
