More quotes by Henry Moore
There is a right physical size for every idea.
Henry Moore
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
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
Henry Moore
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
Henry Moore
Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore
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
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
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
Art is not to do with the practical side of making a living. It's to live a fuller human life.
Henry Moore
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
Henry Moore
The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation.
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
People think that they see, but they don't.
Henry Moore
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
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
I find in all the artists that I admire most a disturbing element, a distortion, giving evidence of a struggle . . . . In great art, this conflict is hidden, it is unresolved. All that is bursting with energy is disturbing - not perfect.
Henry Moore
Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.
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
One mustn't let technique be the consciously important thing. It should be at the service of expressing the form.
Henry Moore
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
