I think art is the only thing that's spiritual in the world. And I refuse to forced to believe in other people's interpretations of God. I don't think anybody should be. No one person can own the copyright to what God means.

It is art that makes life makes interest makes importance and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.

Modern art is what happens when painters stop looking at girls and persuade themselves that they have a better idea.

Time extracts various values from a painter's work. When these values are exhausted the pictures are forgotten and the more a picture has to give the greater it is.

A sculptor is a person who is interested in the shape of things a poet in words a musician by sounds.

Works of art in my opinion are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order and that is why though I don't believe that only art matters I do believe in Art for Art's sake.

Every good painter paints what he is.

Fashion is only the attempt to realize art in living forms and social intercourse.

A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.
