More quotes by Robert Henri
Cherish your own emotions and never undervalue them.
Robert Henri
Be a warhorse for work and enjoy even the struggle against defeat.
Robert Henri
Painting should never look as if it were done with difficulty, however difficult it may actually have been.
Robert Henri
The man who has honesty, integrity, the love of inquiry, the desire to see beyond, is ready to appreciate good art.
Robert Henri
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
There are pictures that manifest education and there are pictures that manifest love.
Robert Henri
Do not worry about your originality. You could not get rid of it even if you wanted to.
Robert Henri
Art is certainly not a pursuit for anyone who wants to make money.
Robert Henri
Art tends toward balance, order, judgment of relative values, the laws of growth, the economy of living – very good things for anyone to be interested in.
Robert Henri
Pretend you are dancing or singing a picture.
Robert Henri
It is the common defect of modern art study. Too many students do not know why they draw.
Robert Henri
You will never draw the sense of a thing unless you are feeling it at the time you work.
Robert Henri
Count on big lines to express your ideas.
Robert Henri
Life is finding yourself. It is a spirit development.
Robert Henri
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.
Robert Henri
Strokes carry a message whether you will it or not. The stroke is just like the artist at the time he makes it. All the certainties, all the uncertainties, all the bigness of his spirit and the littlenesses are in it.
Robert Henri
The world will see many fashions of art and most of the world will follow the fashions and make none. These cults - these 'movements' - are absolutely necessary, or at any rate their causes are, for somewhere in their centres are the ones who bear the Idea, the ones who have questioned, 'But what do I think?' and 'How shall I say it best?
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
Your style is the way you talk in paint.
Robert Henri
A picture should be the expression of the will of the painter.
Robert Henri
