More quotes by 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
The wall around the window does not create two worlds.
Henri Matisse
Seeing is in itself a creative act which requires effort.
Henri Matisse
Creation is the artist's true function where there is no creation there is no art.
Henri Matisse
Above all, an artist must never be too easily satisfied with what he has done.
Henri Matisse
He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices he is free and nothing holds him back.
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
Put a colour upon a canvas - it not only colours with that colour the part of the canvas to which the colour has been applied, but it also colours the surrounding space with the complementary.
Henri Matisse
Color, even more than drawing, is a means of liberation.
Henri Matisse
All art worthy of the name is religious.
Henri Matisse
Art is an escape from reality.
Henri Matisse
Truly, I'm not joking when I thank my lucky stars for the awful operation I had, since it has made me young again and philosophical which means that I don't want to fritter away the new lease on life I've been given.
Henri Matisse
Love wants to rise, not to be held down by anything base... He who loves flies, runs, and rejoices he is free and nothing holds him back. Derive happiness from yourself, from a good day's work, from the clearing that it makes in the fog that surrounds us.
Henri Matisse
I wouldn't mind turning into a vermilion goldfish.
Henri Matisse
I am unable to distinguish between the feeling I have for life and my way of expressing it.
Henri Matisse
The sign is determined at the moment I use it and for the object of which it must form a part. For this reason I cannot determine in advance signs which never change, and which would be like writing: that would paralyze the freedom of my invention.
Henri Matisse
Precision is not reality
Henri Matisse
I've been forty years discovering that the queen of all colors is black.
Henri Matisse
The living model, the naked body of a woman, is the privileged seat of feeling, but also of questioning... The model must mark you, awaken in you an emotion which you seek in turn to express.
Henri Matisse
