"Art will remain the most astonishing activity of mankind born out of struggle between wisdom and madness, between dream and reality in our mind."
Magdalena Abakanowicz"Good art is not what it looks like, but what it does to us."
Roy Adzak"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."
Aristotle"The job of the artist is always to deepen the mystery."
Francis Bacon"Painting is a language which cannot be replaced by another language. I don't know what to say about what I paint, really."
Balthus"When you start a painting, it is somewhat outside you. At the conclusion, you seem to move inside the painting."
Fernando Botero"That which they call abstract is the most realistic, because what is real is not the exterior but the idea, the essence of things."
"When you see a fish you don't think of its scales, do you? You think of its speed, its floating, flashing body seen through the water... If I made fins and eyes and scales, I would arrest its movement, give a pattern or shape of reality. I want just the flash of its spirit."
Constantin Brancusi"The function of Art is to disturb. Science reassures."
George Braque"In whatever one does there must be a relationship between the eye and the heart."
Henri Cartier-Besson"A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art."
"I have not tried to reproduce nature; I have represented it."
"Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realizing one's sensations."
"There is a logic of colors, and it is with this alone, and not with the logic of the brain, that the painter should conform."
Paul Cézanne"Art must be an expression of love or it is nothing."
"Art seems to me to be a state of soul more than anything else."
"Great art picks up where nature ends."
Marc Chagall Marc Chagall"Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art."

Giorgio DeChirico"Art is not what you see, but what you make others see."
"Painting is easy for those that do not know how, but very difficult for those that do!"
Edgar Degas"The first virtue of a painting is to be a feast for the eyes."
Delacroix"Abstract literally means to draw from or separate. In this sense every artist is abstract... a realistic or non-objective approach makes no difference. The result is what counts."
Richard Diebenkorn"The function of art is to free the spirit of man and to invigorate and enlarge his vision."
Katherine Dreier"Art is the path of the creator to his work."

Michelangelo"I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music."

"The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel."
"The truly modern artist is aware of abstraction in an emotion of beauty."
Piet Mondrian"The many great paintings of the world, all make the point as clear as possible: The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art. If you don't want the pleasure of art, you are not human; and if you are not human, you don't have a soul."

Pablo Picasso"The painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through."
Jackson Pollock"Painting, like music, has nothing to do with the reproduction of nature, nor interpretation of intellectual meanings. Whoever is able to feel the beauty of colors and forms has understood non-objective painting."
Hilla Rebay"Painting is the grandchild of nature. It is related to God."
Rembrandt"A room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts."
