More quotes by Henri Matisse
An artist is an explorer.
Henri Matisse
Ever since there have been men, man has given himself over to too little joy. That alone, my brothers, is our original sin. I should believe only in a God who understood how to dance.
Henri Matisse
It is not enough to place colors, however beautiful, one beside the other colors must also react on one another. Otherwise, you have cacophony.
Henri Matisse
An artist must possess Nature. He must identify himself with her rhythm, by efforts that will prepare the mastery which will later enable him to express himself in his own language.
Henri Matisse
Beauty comes from the balance between two and three dimensions, between abstraction and representation - I seek the equilibrium behind changing appearances.
Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse
Whoever wishes to devote himself to painting should begin by cutting out his own tongue
Henri Matisse
We ought to view ourselves with the same curiosity and openness with which we study a tree, the sky or a thought, because we too are linked to the entire universe.
Henri Matisse
I have always tried to hide my efforts and wished my works to have a light joyousness of springtime which never lets anyone suspect the labors it has cost me.
Henri Matisse
Seeing is in itself a creative act which requires effort.
Henri Matisse
Don't wait for inspiration. It comes while one is working.
Henri Matisse
A thimbleful of red is redder than a bucketful.
Henri Matisse
All my efforts go into creating an art that can be understood by everyone.
Henri Matisse
Creation begins with vision.
Henri Matisse
Simple colours can affect the intimate feelings with all the more force because they are simple.
Henri Matisse
With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.
Henri Matisse
Seek the strongest color effect possible... the content is of no importance.
Henri Matisse
