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

More quotes by Henry Moore
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
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
Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.
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
Talking about one's work releases the energy and tension to do and make.
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
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
Henry Moore
One mustn't let technique be the consciously important thing. It should be at the service of expressing the form.
Henry Moore
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
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
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
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
There is a right physical size for every idea.
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
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 creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.
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
Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore
