More quotes by 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
Starting to paint, I felt gloriously free, quiet, and alone.
Henri Matisse
Art is an escape from reality.
Henri Matisse
Above all, an artist must never be too easily satisfied with what he has done.
Henri Matisse
Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.
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
He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices he is free and nothing holds him back.
Henri Matisse
Never ruin a good painting with the truth.
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
All art worthy of the name is religious.
Henri Matisse
The Barnes Foundation is the only sane place to see art in America.
Henri Matisse
A distinction is made between artists who work directly from nature and those who work purely from imagination. Neither if these methods should be preferred to the exclusion of the other. Often both are used in turn by the same man.
Henri Matisse
A rapid rendering of a landscape represents only one moment of its existence. I prefer, by insisting upon its essential character, to risk losing charm in order to gain greater stability.
Henri Matisse
Nothing can be accomplished without love.
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
A certain blue enters your soul. A certain red has an effect on your blood-pressure.
Henri Matisse
A work should contain its total meaning within itself and should impress it on the spectator before he even knows the subject.
Henri Matisse
I have always tried to hide my efforts and wished my works to have a light joyousness of springtime which never lets anyone suspect the labors it has cost me.
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
I want to reach that condensation of sensations that constitutes a picture.
Henri Matisse
