Art is whether or not there is a scream in him wanting to get out in a special way.

Art begins . . . when someone interprets, when someone sees the world through his own eyes. Art happens when what is seen becomes mixed with the inside of the person who is seeing it.

I do not have many things that are meaningful to me. Except my doubts and my fears. And my art.

... an artist is a person first. He is an individual. If there is no person, there is no artist.

Art is a person's private vision expressed in aesthetic forms.

An artist is a person first.

Great artists make the entire world their home.

Millions of people can draw. Art is whether there is a scream in you wanting to get out in a special way.

Every artist is a man who has freed himself from his family, his nation, his race. Every man who has shown the world the way to beauty, to true culture, has been a rebel, a ‘universal’ without patriotism, without home, who has found his people everywhere.
