Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.

My imagination can picture no fairer happiness than to continue living for art.

Life is painting a picture not doing a sum.

Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame.

A picture is a poem without words.

Pictures must not be too picturesque.

A picture is worth a thousand words.
