Between beauty of expression and power of expression there is a difference of function. The first aims at pleasing the senses, the second has a spiritual vitality which for me is more moving and goes deeper than the senses.

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
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
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
The important thing is somehow to begin.
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
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
Henry Moore
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
Henry Moore
People think that they see, but they don't.
Henry Moore
One mustn't let technique be the consciously important thing. It should be at the service of expressing the form.
Henry Moore
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
Henry Moore
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
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
All art should have a certain mystery and should make demands on the spectator. Giving a sculpture or a drawing too explicit a title takes away part of that mystery so that the spectator moves on to the next object, making no effort to ponder the meaning of what he has just seen. Everyone thinks that he or she looks but they don't really, you know.
Henry Moore
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
Henry Moore
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
Henry Moore
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
In my opinion, everything, every shape, every bit of natural form, animals, people, pebbles, shells, anything you like are all things that can help you to make a sculpture.
Henry Moore
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
Henry Moore
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
