More quotes by Henri Matisse
Another word for creativity is courage.
Henri Matisse
I simply try to put down colors which render my sensation
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
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
I've been forty years discovering that the queen of all colors is black.
Henri Matisse
Nothing can be accomplished without love.
Henri Matisse
A thimbleful of red is redder than a bucketful.
Henri Matisse
The artist has to look at life as he did when he was a child. If he loses that faculty, he cannot express himself in an original, that is, a personal way.
Henri Matisse
I dream of an art of balance, of quietness, something analogous to a good armchair.
Henri Matisse
From the moment I held the box of colors in my hands, I knew this was my life. I threw myself into it like a beast that plunges towards the thing it loves.
Henri Matisse
I have to create an object which resembles the tree. The sign for a tree, and not the sign that other artists may have found for the tree.
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
Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.
Henri Matisse
The artist begins with a vision - a creative operation requiring an effort.
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
He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices he is free and nothing holds him back.
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
Creation begins with vision.
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 model for me is a touchstone, it is a door which I must break open in order to reach the garden in which I am alone and feel good, even the model exists only for what use I can make of it.
Henri Matisse
