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.

More quotes by Henry Moore
There is a right physical size for every idea.
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
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
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
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
Sculpture is an art of the open air... I would rather have a piece of my sculpture put in a landscape, almost any landscape, than in, or on, the most beautiful building I know.
Henry Moore
One mustn't let technique be the consciously important thing. It should be at the service of expressing the form.
Henry Moore
I sometimes begin a drawing with no preconceived problem to solve, with only the desire to use pencil on paper... but as my eye takes in what is so produced, a point arrives where some idea crystallizes, and then a control and ordering begins to take place.
Henry Moore
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
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
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
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
Henry Moore
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
Henry Moore
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
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
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
Henry Moore
The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation.
Henry Moore
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
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
Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore
