A great painting is a great painting.

Great Art is Great because it inspired you greatly. If it didn't, no matter what the critics, the museums and the galleries say, it's not great art for you.

Art is great. At its best, it engages the intellect and challenges the spirit; it connects us across history and reminds us of our humanity.

There is incredible power in the arts to inspire and influence.

All great art is the work of the whole living creature, body and soul, and chiefly of the soul.

I'm very happy to hear that my work inspires writers and painters. It's the most beautiful compliment, the greatest reward. Art should always be an exchange.

Great art is the outward expression of an inner life in the artist, and this inner life will result in his personal vision of the world.

The great poet is a great artist. He is painter and sculptor. The greatest pictures and statues have been painted and chiseled with words. They outlast all others.

There's an audience for all kinds of great art.

Great art is the expression of a solution of the conflict between the demands of the world without and that within.
