More quotes by 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
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
Image
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
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
Image
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
Image
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
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
Henry Moore
Image
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
Henry Moore

Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore

All art is an abstraction to some degree.
Henry Moore

Talking about one's work releases the energy and tension to do and make.
Henry Moore
Image
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
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
There is a right physical size for every idea.
Henry Moore
Image
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
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
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
People think that they see, but they don't.
Henry Moore
Image
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
