More quotes by Henry Moore
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
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
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 soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
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
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
I find in all the artists that I admire most a disturbing element, a distortion, giving evidence of a struggle . . . . In great art, this conflict is hidden, it is unresolved. All that is bursting with energy is disturbing - not perfect.
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
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
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
Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.
Henry Moore
Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore
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
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
Henry Moore
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
Talking about one's work releases the energy and tension to do and make.
Henry Moore
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
Henry Moore
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
