More quotes by Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse
Another word for creativity is courage.
Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse
My models, my human figures, are never like extras in an interior. They are the main theme of my work. I depend absolutely on my model.
Henri Matisse
With greater completeness and abstraction, I have attained a form filtered to its essentials.
Henri Matisse
To arrive is to be in prison.
Henri Matisse
Would not it be best to leave room to mystery?
Henri Matisse
A young woman has young claws, well sharpened. If she has character, that is. And if she hasn't so much the worse for you.
Henri Matisse
