More quotes by 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
I dream of an art of balance, of quietness, something analogous to a good armchair.
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
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
When a painting is finished, it's like a new born child, and the artist himself must have time for understanding. How then do you expect an amateur to understand that which the artist dos not yet comprehend.
Henri Matisse
All my efforts go into creating an art that can be understood by everyone.
Henri Matisse
When I put a green, it is not grass. When I put a blue, it is not the sky.
Henri Matisse
Precision is not 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
With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.
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
A thimbleful of red is redder than a bucketful.
Henri Matisse
A young painter who cannot liberate himself from the influence of past generations is digging his own grave.
Henri Matisse
I simply try to put down colors which render my sensation
Henri Matisse
Never ruin a good painting with the truth.
Henri Matisse
Art is an escape from reality.
Henri Matisse
...I am driven on by an idea that I really only grasp as it grows with the picture.
Henri Matisse
An artist is an explorer.
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
Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.
Henri Matisse
