"Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better."

Some have tried to define it, some have tried to complicate it, and some have tried to oversimplify it, but the temper of art is like an abyss, full yet absent, empty yet present. It is not meant to be comprehended but felt. In its very essence, art is about unbounded passion and reflections of life―the more you try to capture it, the more will it elude.

It was for their indissoluble spirit and unimaginable passion for their art that helped them withstand criticism, hardships, and poverty.
Below are some handpicked quotes about art by the masters of art.
