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.

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
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
Henry Moore
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
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
To be an artist is to believe in life.
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
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
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 a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
Henry Moore
The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation.
Henry Moore
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
Henry Moore
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
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
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
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
One mustn't let technique be the consciously important thing. It should be at the service of expressing the form.
Henry Moore
Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
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
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
Henry Moore
