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.

More quotes by Henry Moore
There is a right physical size for every idea.
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
Art is not to do with the practical side of making a living. It's to live a fuller human life.
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 whole of nature is an endless demonstration of shape and form. It always surprises me when artists try to escape from this.
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
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 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
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 nothing greater than enthusiasm.
Henry Moore
One mustn't let technique be the consciously important thing. It should be at the service of expressing the form.
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
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
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
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
To be an artist is to believe in life.
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 observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
Henry Moore
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
Henry Moore
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
Henry Moore
