More quotes by 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
People think that they see, but they don't.
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
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
Talking about one's work releases the energy and tension to do and make.
Henry Moore
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
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
Henry Moore
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
Henry Moore
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
Henry Moore
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
Henry Moore
The important thing is somehow to begin.
Henry Moore
The observation of nature is part of an artist's life.
Henry Moore
The creative habit is like a drug. The particular obsession changes, but the excitement, the thrill of your creation lasts.
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
To be an artist is to believe in life.
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
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
You must always be open to your luck. You cannot force it, but you can recognize it.
Henry Moore
Because a work does not aim at reproducing natural appearances it is not, therefore, an escape from life -- but may be a penetration into reality...as expression of the significance of life, a stimulation to greater effort in living.
Henry Moore
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
