Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci - Poster

“If the world were clear, art would not be.”

“Art hovers around the truth, but with the firm intention not to burn itself.”

“Tears fall in my heart as rain falls on the town.”

“Only through art can we emerge from ourselves and know what another person sees.”

“One sees clearly only with the heart. The essential is invisible to the eyes.”

“But where are the snows of yesteryear?”

“One must be absolutely modern.”

“To create is always to speak of childhood.”

“Art is the reflection that the dazzled human soul gives back of the splendor of the beautiful.”

“Only children know what they are looking for.”

“Perfumes, colors, and sounds respond to one another.”

“Common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little, and that true reality is only in dreams.”

“Art is born of constraints, lives of struggles, and dies of freedom.”

“The sky is pretty like an angel.”

“Sight does not master the pictures, it is the pictures which master one's sight. They flood one's consciousness.”

“Art is the premonition of truth.”

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”

“Genius is childhood rediscovered at will.”
