More quotes by Henry Moore

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
One mustn't let technique be the consciously important thing. It should be at the service of expressing the form.
Henry Moore
Image
There is a right physical size for every idea.
Henry Moore
Image
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
Henry Moore
Image
The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation.
Henry Moore
Image
Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore
Image
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
Image
I find drawing a useful outlet for ideas for which there is not time enough to realize as sculpture... And I sometimes draw just for its own enjoyment.
Henry Moore
Image
Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.
Henry Moore
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
Henry Moore
Image
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
Henry Moore
Image
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
Henry Moore
Image
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
Henry Moore
