More quotes by Henry Moore
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
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
The secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute of the day for the rest of your life. And the most important thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do.
Henry Moore
The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.
Henry Moore
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
Henry Moore
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
The important thing is somehow to begin.
Henry Moore
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
People think that they see, but they don't.
Henry Moore
Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
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
Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.
Henry Moore
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
Henry Moore
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
Henry Moore
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
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
I sometimes begin a drawing with no preconceived problem to solve, with only the desire to use pencil on paper... but as my eye takes in what is so produced, a point arrives where some idea crystallizes, and then a control and ordering begins to take place.
Henry Moore
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
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
