More quotes by Henri Matisse
Drawing is putting a line around an idea.
Henri Matisse
A work of art must carry in itself its complete significance and impose it upon the beholder even before he can identify the subject-matter.
Henri Matisse
Creation is the artist's true function where there is no creation there is no art.
Henri Matisse
I do not repudiate any of my paintings but there isn't one of them that I would not redo differently, if I had it to redo. My destination is always the same but I work out a different route to get there.
Henri Matisse
With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.
Henri Matisse
There are wonderful things in Jazz, the improvisation, the liveliness, the being at one with the audience.
Henri Matisse
Simple colours can affect the intimate feelings with all the more force because they are simple.
Henri Matisse
If I close my eyes, I see things better than with my eyes open.
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
Seek the strongest color effect possible... the content is of no importance.
Henri Matisse
...The more a picture has to give, the greater it is.
Henri Matisse
With greater completeness and abstraction, I have attained a form filtered to its essentials.
Henri Matisse
The Barnes Foundation is the only sane place to see art in America.
Henri Matisse
I've been forty years discovering that the queen of all colors is black.
Henri Matisse
I am unable to distinguish between the feeling I have for life and my way of expressing it.
Henri Matisse
The living model, the naked body of a woman, is the privileged seat of feeling, but also of questioning... The model must mark you, awaken in you an emotion which you seek in turn to express.
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
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
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
Art is an escape from reality.
Henri Matisse
