"Where painting is weakest, namely, in the expression of the highest moral and spiritual ideas, there music is sublime…" — Harriet Beecher-Stowe

The business of art is to reveal the relation between man and his environment.

The true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection

To send light into the darkness of men's hearts - such is the duty of the artist.

Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known

Art ought never to be considered except in its relations with its ideal beauty

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
