Henry Moore
Image
To be an artist is to believe in life.
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
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
Image
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
Henry Moore
Image
Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.
Henry Moore

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.
Henry Moore
Image
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
Image
I have always been very interested in landscape... I find that all natural forms are a source of unending interest - tree trunks, the growth of branches from the trunk, each finding its own individual air-space.
Henry Moore

Talking about one's work releases the energy and tension to do and make.
Henry Moore

I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
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
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
Image
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
Henry Moore
Image
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
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
The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.
Henry Moore
Image
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
Henry Moore
Image
The important thing is somehow to begin.
Henry Moore
Image
Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore
