More quotes by Henry Moore

Image
Our knowledge of shape and form remains, in general, a mixture of visual and of tactile experiences... A child learns about roundness from handling a ball far more than from looking at it.
Henry Moore
Image
The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.
Henry Moore
Image
Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.
Henry Moore
Image
People think that they see, but they don't.
Henry Moore
Image
I find drawing a useful outlet for ideas for which there is not time enough to realize as sculpture... And I sometimes draw just for its own enjoyment.
Henry Moore
Image
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
Image
Sculpture is an art of the open air... I would rather have a piece of my sculpture put in a landscape, almost any landscape, than in, or on, the most beautiful building I know.
Henry Moore
Image
Art is not to do with the practical side of making a living. It's to live a fuller human life.
Henry Moore
Image
All the arts are based on the senses. What they do for the person who practices them, and also the persons interested in them, is make that particular sense more active and more acute.
Henry Moore
Image
All art should have a certain mystery and should make demands on the spectator. Giving a sculpture or a drawing too explicit a title takes away part of that mystery so that the spectator moves on to the next object, making no effort to ponder the meaning of what he has just seen. Everyone thinks that he or she looks but they don't really, you know.
Henry Moore
Image
A piece of sculpture can have a hole through it and not be weakened if the hole is of a studied size, shape, and direction.
Henry Moore
Image
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
Image
I have always been very interested in landscape... I find that all natural forms are a source of unending interest - tree trunks, the growth of branches from the trunk, each finding its own individual air-space.
Henry Moore
Image
The whole of nature is an endless demonstration of shape and form. It always surprises me when artists try to escape from this.
Henry Moore
Image
One mustn't let technique be the consciously important thing. It should be at the service of expressing the form.
Henry Moore
Image
The important thing is somehow to begin.
Henry Moore
Image
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
Henry Moore
Image
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
Henry Moore
Image
If an artist tries consciously to do something to others, it is to stretch their eyes, their thoughts, to something they would not see or feel if the artist had not done it. To do this, he has to stretch his own first.
Henry Moore
Image
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
