Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.
Robert Henri
Manet did not do the expected. He was a pioneer. He followed his individual whim. Told the public what he wanted it to know, not the time worn things the public already knew and thought it wanted to hear again. The public was very much offended.
Robert Henri
The pernicious influence of the prize and medal giving in art is so great that it should be stopped. History proves that juries in art have been generally wrong.
Robert Henri
Work always as if you were a master, expect from yourself a masterpiece.
Robert Henri
