Image
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
Henry Moore
Image
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
Image
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
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
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
Image
The important thing is somehow to begin.
Henry Moore
Image
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
Henry Moore
Image
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
Henry Moore
Image
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
Image
One mustn't let technique be the consciously important thing. It should be at the service of expressing the form.
Henry Moore
Image
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
Henry Moore
Image
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
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 artist works with a concentration of his whole personality, and the conscious part of it resolves conflicts, organized memories, and prevents him from trying to walk in two directions at the same time.
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
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
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
Henry Moore
Image
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
Image
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
Henry Moore
