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.

More quotes by Henry Moore
One mustn't let technique be the consciously important thing. It should be at the service of expressing the form.
Henry Moore
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
Henry Moore
There is a right physical size for every idea.
Henry Moore
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
Henry Moore
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
Henry Moore
Art is not to do with the practical side of making a living. It's to live a fuller human life.
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
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
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
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
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
People think that they see, but they don't.
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
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
Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore
Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.
Henry Moore
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
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
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
Henry Moore
