Image
Art is certainly not a pursuit for anyone who wants to make money.
Robert Henri
Image
If you think of a school drawing while you work, your drawing will look like one.
Robert Henri
Image
Each sensation is precious, protect it, cherish it, keep it. Never give it away. You must develop that balance which allows all of the world to come in to you, and only that which you have expressed in your art to move back out again into the world.
Robert Henri
Image
I paint for the sole purpose of magnifying the privilege of being alive.
Robert Henri
Image
No work of Art is really ever finished. They only stop at good places.
Robert Henri
Image
Get the few main lines and see what lines they call out.
Robert Henri
Image
Beauty is an intangible thing can not be fixed on the surface, and the wear and tear of old age on the body cannot defeat it. Nor will a pretty face make it, for pretty faces are often dull and empty, and beauty is never dull and it fills all spaces.
Robert Henri
Image
Pretend you are dancing or singing a picture.
Robert Henri
Image
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
Image
Beauty is no material thing. Beauty cannot be copied. Beauty is the sensation of pleasure on the mind of the seer. No thing is beautiful. But all things await the sensitive and imaginative mind that may be aroused to pleasurable emotion at sight of them. This is beauty.

Image
Do whatever you do intensely.
Robert Henri
Image
Don't worry about your originality. You couldn't get rid of it even if you wanted to. It will stick with you and show up for better or worse in spite of all you or anyone else can do.
Robert Henri
Image
Keep a bad drawing until by study you have found out why it is bad.
Robert Henri
Image
You can do anything you want to do. What is rare is this actual wanting to do a specific thing: wanting it so much that you are practically blind to all other things, that nothing else will satisfy you.
Robert Henri
Image
I have heard it very often said that an artist does not need intelligence, that his is the province of the soul
Robert Henri
Image
Art when really understood is the province of every human being. It is simply a question of doing things, anything, well. It is not an outside, extra thing.
Robert Henri
Image
Art need not be intended. It comes inevitably as the tree from the root, the branch from the trunk, the blossom from the twig. None of these forget the present in looking backward or forward. They are occupied wholly with the fulfillment of their own existence.
Robert Henri
Image
The sketch hunter moves through life as he finds it, not passing negligently the things he loves, but stopping to know them, and to note them down in the shorthand of his sketchbook.
Robert Henri
Image
Genius is not a possession of the limited few, but exists in some degree in everyone. Where there is natural growth, a full and free play of faculties, genius will manifest itself.
Robert Henri
Image
Do not expect pictures to say the expected some of the best will have surprises for you, which will, at first, shock you.
