More quotes by 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
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
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
Henry Moore
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
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
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
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
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
Henry Moore
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
The important thing is somehow to begin.
Henry Moore
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
Talking about one's work releases the energy and tension to do and make.
Henry Moore
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
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
Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.
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
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
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
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
Henry Moore
