More quotes by Henri Matisse
It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else.
Henri Matisse
I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.
Henri Matisse
The artist begins with a vision - a creative operation requiring an effort.
Henri Matisse
You study, you learn, but you guard the original naivete. It has to be within you, as desire for drink is within the drunkard or love is within the lover.
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
Nothing can be accomplished without love.
Henri Matisse
To arrive is to be in prison.
Henri Matisse
I have been no more than a medium, as it were.
Henri Matisse
You want to paint? First of all you must cut off your tongue because your decision takes away from you the right to express yourself with anything but your brush.
Henri Matisse
Another word for creativity is courage.
Henri Matisse
When I put a green, it is not grass. When I put a blue, it is not the sky.
Henri Matisse
A certain blue enters your soul. A certain red has an effect on your blood-pressure.
Henri Matisse
You must forget all your theories, all your ideas before the subject. What part of these is really your own will be expressed in your expression of the emotion awakened in you by the subject.
Henri Matisse
It is only after years of preparation that the young artist should touch color - not color used descriptively, that is, but as a means of personal expression.
Henri Matisse
Creation is the artist's true function where there is no creation there is no art.
Henri Matisse
I dream of an art of balance, of quietness, something analogous to a good armchair.
Henri Matisse
Whoever wishes to devote himself to painting should begin by cutting out his own tongue
Henri Matisse
The artists must see all things as if he were seeing them for the first time. All his life he must see as he did when he was a child.
Henri Matisse
A work of art must carry in itself its complete significance and impose it upon the beholder even before he can identify the subject-matter.
Henri Matisse
When an artist or student draws a nude figure with painstaking care, the result is drawing, and not emotion.
Henri Matisse
