More quotes by Robert Henri
By my teaching I hope to inspire you to personal activity and to present your vision.
Robert Henri
It is the common defect of modern art study. Too many students do not know why they draw.
Robert Henri
Knowledge of anatomy is a tool like good brushes.
Robert Henri
A weak background is a deadly thing.
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
It is harder to see than it is to express. The whole value of art rests in the artist's ability to see well into what is before him.
Robert Henri

Robert Henri
Art is, after all, only a trace – like a footprint which shows that one has walked bravely and in great happiness.
Robert Henri
Lines are results, do not draw them for themselves.
Robert Henri
I have heard it very often said that an artist does not need intelligence, that his is the province of the soul

Robert Henri

Robert Henri
After all, the goal is not making art. It is living a life. Those who live their lives will leave the stuff that is really art.
Robert Henri
There are pictures that manifest education and there are pictures that manifest love.
Robert Henri
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
You will never draw the sense of a thing unless you are feeling it at the time you work.
Robert Henri
No work of Art is really ever finished. They only stop at good places.
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
