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
There are wonderful things in Jazz, the improvisation, the liveliness, the being at one with the audience.
Henri Matisse
Arrival = Prison, and the artist must never be a prisoner.
Henri Matisse
All that is not useful in a picture is detrimental. A work of art must be harmonious in its entirety for superfluous details would, in the mind of the beholder, encroach upon the essential elements.
Henri Matisse
My curves are not crazy.
Henri Matisse
Creation is the artist's true function where there is no creation there is no art.
Henri Matisse
I am unable to make any distinction between the feeling I get from life and the way I translate that feeling into painting.
Henri Matisse
Much of the beauty that arises in art comes from the struggle an artist wages with his limited medium.
Henri Matisse
A certain blue enters your soul. A certain red has an effect on your blood-pressure.
Henri Matisse
...I am driven on by an idea that I really only grasp as it grows with the picture.
Henri Matisse
If I close my eyes, I see things better than with my eyes open.
Henri Matisse
Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.
Henri Matisse
The use of expressive colors is felt to be one of the basic elements of the modern mentality, an historical necessity, beyond choice.
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
If drawing belongs to the world of spirit and color to that of the senses, you must draw first to cultivate the spirit.
Henri Matisse
I don't paint things. I only paint the difference between things.
Henri Matisse
An artist is an explorer. He has to begin by self-discovery and by observation of his own procedure. After that he must not feel under any constraint.
Henri Matisse
A young painter who cannot liberate himself from the influence of past generations is digging his own grave.
Henri Matisse
Color exists in itself, possessing its own beauty.
Henri Matisse
An artist must never be a prisoner. Prisoner? An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc.
Henri Matisse
