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
Sculpture is an art of the open air... I would rather have a piece of my sculpture put in a landscape, almost any landscape, than in, or on, the most beautiful building I know.
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
There is a right physical size for every idea.
Henry Moore
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
Henry Moore
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
Henry Moore
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
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
The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation.
Henry Moore
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
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
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
The important thing is somehow to begin.
Henry Moore
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.
Henry Moore
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
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 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
Art is not to do with the practical side of making a living. It's to live a fuller human life.
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 the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore
