Leonardo da Vinci

"He who submits to training without knowledge is like a sailor who sets out on a voyage without a rudder and a compass... Practice should always be based on a good knowledge of theory" - Da Vinci. From the 25 Influential Creators Project.

Alexander Cherkov, "Leonardo Da Vinci", 2019, ceramic bas-relief, 4X45X22 cm

Selected quotes by the painter Leonardo da Vinci:

"Where intuition does not lead the artist's hand, there is no art. Where thought does not work with the hand, there is no artist."

"He who gives in to training without knowledge, is like a sailor who embarks on a journey without a rudder and compass. Practice should always be based on good knowledge of theory."

"Simplicity is the hardest thing in the world; it's the extreme limit of a genius' last experience and effort."

"Art never ends, only is abandoned."
