More quotes by Henri Matisse
There are wonderful things in Jazz, the improvisation, the liveliness, the being at one with the audience.
Henri Matisse
Impressionism is the newspaper of the soul.
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
Photographs will always be impressive because they show us nature, and all artists will find in them a world of sensations. The photographer must therefore intervene as little as possible, so as not to cause photography to lose the objective charm which it naturally possesses, notwithstanding its defects.
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
Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.
Henri Matisse
Derive happiness in oneself from a good day's work, from illuminating the fog that surrounds us.
Henri Matisse
Would not it be best to leave room to mystery?
Henri Matisse
Simple colours can affect the intimate feelings with all the more force because they are simple.
Henri Matisse
The sign for which I forge an image has no value if it doesn't harmonize with other signs, which I must determine in the course of my invention and which are completely peculiar to it.
Henri Matisse
Color exists in itself, possessing its own beauty.
Henri Matisse
You study, you learn, but you guard the original naivete. It has to be within you, as desire for drink is within the drunkard or love is within the lover.
Henri Matisse
With greater completeness and abstraction, I have attained a form filtered to its essentials.
Henri Matisse
I've been forty years discovering that the queen of all colors is black.
Henri Matisse
Much of the beauty that arises in art comes from the struggle an artist wages with his limited medium.
Henri Matisse
My curves are not crazy.
Henri Matisse
To arrive is to be in prison.
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
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
All my efforts go into creating an art that can be understood by everyone.
Henri Matisse
