More quotes by Henry Moore
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
Henry Moore
People think that they see, but they don't.
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 observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
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
The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation.
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
One mustn't let technique be the consciously important thing. It should be at the service of expressing the form.
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
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
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
All art should have a certain mystery and should make demands on the spectator. Giving a sculpture or a drawing too explicit a title takes away part of that mystery so that the spectator moves on to the next object, making no effort to ponder the meaning of what he has just seen. Everyone thinks that he or she looks but they don't really, you know.
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
Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.
Henry Moore
The construction of the human figure, its tremendous variety of balance, of size, of rhythm, all those things make the human form much more difficult to get right in a drawing than anything else.
Henry Moore
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
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
Henry Moore
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
Henry Moore
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
