More quotes by Henri Matisse
There are wonderful things in Jazz, the improvisation, the liveliness, the being at one with the audience.
Henri Matisse
Nothing can be accomplished without love.
Henri Matisse
An artist is an explorer. He has to begin by self-discovery and by observation of his own procedure. After that he must not feel under any constraint.
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
Truth and reality in art do not arise until you no longer understand what you are doing and are capable of but nevertheless sense a power that grows in proportion to your resistance.
Henri Matisse
I shan't get free of my emotion by copying the tree faithfully, or by drawing its leaves one by one in the common language, but only after identifying myself with it.
Henri Matisse
The truly original artist invents his own signs.
Henri Matisse
All that is not useful in a picture is detrimental. A work of art must be harmonious in its entirety for superfluous details would, in the mind of the beholder, encroach upon the essential elements.
Henri Matisse
The effort to see things without distortion takes something like courage and this courage is essential to the artist, who has to look at everything as though he saw it for the first time.
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
The wall around the window does not create two worlds.
Henri Matisse
For my part I have never avoided the influence of others. I would have considered it cowardice and a lack of sincerity toward myself.
Henri Matisse
In the beginning you must subject yourself to the influence of nature. You must be able to walk firmly on the ground before you start walking on a tightrope.
Henri Matisse
After a half-century of hard work and reflection the wall is still there.
Henri Matisse
Color, even more than drawing, is a means of liberation.
Henri Matisse
Creation begins with vision.
Henri Matisse
The energy within you is stronger than ever for being held back, compressed, and said No to.
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
Colours have their own distinctive beauty that you have to preserve, just as in music you try to preserve sounds. It is a question of organization, of finding the arrangement that will keep the beauty and freshness of the colour
Henri Matisse
The residuum of another's expression can never be related to one's own feeling.
Henri Matisse
