More quotes by Henry Moore

Image
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
Image
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
Image
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
Image
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
Image
The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation.
Henry Moore
Image
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
Image
The important thing is somehow to begin.
Henry Moore
Image
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
Henry Moore
Image
Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
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
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
Henry Moore
Image
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
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
There is a right physical size for every idea.
Henry Moore
Image
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
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
One never knows what each day is going to bring. The important thing is to be open and ready for 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
Because a work does not aim at reproducing natural appearances it is not, therefore, an escape from life -- but may be a penetration into reality...as expression of the significance of life, a stimulation to greater effort in living.
Henry Moore
Image
People think that they see, but they don't.
Henry Moore
