Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it.

Wherever art appears, life disappears.

Painting that does not radiate feeling is not worth looking at. The deepest-and rarest-of grown-up pleasures is true feeling.

To end up with a canvas that is no less beautiful than the empty canvas is to begin with.

It's not that the creative act and the critical act are simultaneous. It's more like you blurt something out and then analyze it.

The abstractness of modern art has to do with how much an enlightened mind rejects of the contemporary social order.

Walk on a rainbow trail; walk on a trail of song, and all about you will be beauty. There is a way out of every dark mist, over a rainbow trail.
