More quotes by 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
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
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
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
The important thing is somehow to begin.
Henry Moore
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
Henry Moore
The whole of nature is an endless demonstration of shape and form. It always surprises me when artists try to escape from this.
Henry Moore
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
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
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
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
Henry Moore
People think that they see, but they don't.
Henry Moore
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
Henry Moore
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
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
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 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
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
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
