More quotes by Henry Moore
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
Henry Moore
One mustn't let technique be the consciously important thing. It should be at the service of expressing the form.
Henry Moore
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
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
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
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
Henry Moore
Discipline in art is a fundamental struggle to understand oneself, as much as to understand what one is drawing.
Henry Moore
The important thing is somehow to begin.
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
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
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation.
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
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
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
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
Henry Moore
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
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
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
