More quotes by Henry Moore
If an artist tries consciously to do something to others, it is to stretch their eyes, their thoughts, to something they would not see or feel if the artist had not done it. To do this, he has to stretch his own first.
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
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
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
There is a right physical size for every idea.
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
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
Henry Moore
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
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
Art is not to do with the practical side of making a living. It's to live a fuller human life.
Henry Moore
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
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 a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
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
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 the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
Henry Moore
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
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
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
Henry Moore
