More quotes by Henri Matisse
Color exists in itself, possessing its own beauty.
Henri Matisse
All art worthy of the name is religious.
Henri Matisse
The energy within you is stronger than ever for being held back, compressed, and said No to.
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
There are wonderful things in Jazz, the improvisation, the liveliness, the being at one with the audience.
Henri Matisse
Seek the strongest color effect possible... the content is of no importance.
Henri Matisse

Henri Matisse
Simple colours can affect the intimate feelings with all the more force because they are simple.
Henri Matisse
If drawing belongs to the world of spirit and color to that of the senses, you must draw first to cultivate the spirit.
Henri Matisse
A thimbleful of red is redder than a bucketful.
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
Creation begins with vision.
Henri Matisse
What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter - a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.
Henri Matisse
All my efforts go into creating an art that can be understood by everyone.
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
I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.
Henri Matisse
To draw is to make an idea precise. Drawing is the precision of thought.
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
I was driven on by.. A force which I see today as something alien to my normal life... so I have been no more than a medium as it were.
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
