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.

More quotes by 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
The important thing is somehow to begin.
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
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
Henry Moore
The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation.
Henry Moore
Talking about one's work releases the energy and tension to do and make.
Henry Moore
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
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
It is a mistake for a sculptor or a painter to speak or write very often about his job. It releases tension needed for his work.
Henry Moore
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
Henry Moore
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
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
One never knows what each day is going to bring. The important thing is to be open and ready for 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
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
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 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
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
Henry Moore
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
Henry Moore
