More quotes by Henry Moore

Image
Talking about one's work releases the energy and tension to do and make.
Henry Moore
Image
The first hole made through a piece of stone is a revelation.
Henry Moore
Image
The important thing is somehow to begin.
Henry Moore
Image
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
Image
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.
Henry Moore
Image
All art is an abstraction to some degree.
Henry Moore
Image
Art is to make our lives richer and fuller.
Henry Moore
Image
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
Image
Art is a continuous activity with no separation between past and present.
Henry Moore
Image
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
Image
One never knows what each day is going to bring. The important thing is to be open and ready for it.
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
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
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
Image
Art is not to do with the practical side of making a living. It's to live a fuller human life.
Henry Moore
Image
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.
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
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
Henry Moore
Image
Art is the expression of imagination, not the reproduction of reality.
Henry Moore
Image
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
Henry Moore
