More quotes by Henry Moore
It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.
Henry Moore
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
Henry Moore
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
Henry Moore
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
Talking about one's work releases the energy and tension to do and make.
Henry Moore
The construction of the human figure, its tremendous variety of balance, of size, of rhythm, all those things make the human form much more difficult to get right in a drawing than anything else.
Henry Moore
One never knows what each day is going to bring. The important thing is to be open and ready for it.
Henry Moore
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
Henry Moore
In my opinion, everything, every shape, every bit of natural form, animals, people, pebbles, shells, anything you like are all things that can help you to make a sculpture.
Henry Moore
The important thing is somehow to begin.
Henry Moore
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life, it enlarges his form [and] knowledge, keeps him fresh and from working only by formula, and feeds inspiration.
Henry Moore
There is a right physical size for every idea.
Henry Moore
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
Henry Moore
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
Henry Moore
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
Henry Moore
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
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
Between beauty of expression and power of expression there is a difference of function. The first aims at pleasing the senses, the second has a spiritual vitality which for me is more moving and goes deeper than the senses.
Henry Moore
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
Henry Moore
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
