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
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
Henry Moore
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
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
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.
Henry Moore
All the arts are based on the senses. What they do for the person who practices them, and also the persons interested in them, is make that particular sense more active and more acute.
Henry Moore
The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation.
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
Art is not to do with the practical side of making a living. It's to live a fuller human life.
Henry Moore
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
Henry Moore
To be an artist is to believe in life.
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
The important thing is somehow to begin.
Henry Moore
Talking about one's work releases the energy and tension to do and make.
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
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
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
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
Henry Moore
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
Henry Moore
