More quotes by Henry Moore
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
Henry Moore
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
Henry Moore
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
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
One never knows what each day is going to bring. The important thing is to be open and ready for it.
Henry Moore
The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation.
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
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 artist works with a concentration of his whole personality, and the conscious part of it resolves conflicts, organized memories, and prevents him from trying to walk in two directions at the same time.
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 to make our lives richer and fuller.
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
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
People think that they see, but they don't.
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
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
Henry Moore
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
Talking about one's work releases the energy and tension to do and make.
Henry Moore
