More quotes by Henry Moore

Image
To be an artist is to believe in life.
Henry Moore
Image
I think in terms of the day's resolutions, not the years'.
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
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
One mustn't let technique be the consciously important thing. It should be at the service of expressing the form.
Henry Moore
Image
The important thing is somehow to begin.
Henry Moore
Image
The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art.
Henry Moore
Image
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
Image
Painting and sculpture help other people to see what a wonderful world we live in.
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
I don't know of any good work of art that doesn't have a mystery.
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
I have always liked drawing, when you draw you see things more intensely.
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
There is nothing greater than enthusiasm.
Henry Moore
Image
Talking about one's work releases the energy and tension to do and make.
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
To know one thing, you must know the opposite.
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
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.
