More quotes by 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
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
Image
The important thing is somehow to begin.
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
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
Henry Moore
Image
To be an artist is to believe in life.
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 construction of the human figure, its tremendous variety of balance, of size, of rhythm, all those things make the human form much more difficult to get right in a drawing than anything else.
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
Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore
Image
People think that they see, but they don't.
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
Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.
Henry Moore
Image
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
Henry Moore
Image
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
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
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
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
Art is not to do with the practical side of making a living. It's to live a fuller human life.
Henry Moore
Image
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
Henry Moore
