More quotes by 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
To be an artist is to believe in life.
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
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
Henry Moore
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
Henry Moore
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
Henry Moore
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
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 a right physical size for every idea.
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
The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.
Henry Moore
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
Henry Moore
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
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 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
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
Henry Moore
