More quotes by Robert Henri

Image
Completion does not depend on material representation. The work is done when that special thing has been said.
Robert Henri
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The big painter is one who has something to say. He thus does not paint men, landscape or furniture, but an idea.
Robert Henri
Image

Your style is the way you talk in paint.

Through art mysterious bonds of understanding and of knowledge are established among men.
Robert Henri
Image
I paint for the sole purpose of magnifying the privilege of being alive.

Develop your visual memory. Draw everything you have drawn from the model from memory as well.
Robert Henri
Image
The good thing about painting from memory is that so much is forgotten.
Robert Henri
Image
A picture should be the expression of the will of the painter.
Robert Henri
Image
Keep a bad drawing until by study you have found out why it is bad.
Robert Henri
Image
Self-acquainta nce is a rare condition.
Robert Henri
Image
All real works of art look as though they were done in joy.
Robert Henri
Image
There are pictures that manifest education and there are pictures that manifest love.
Robert Henri
Image
Your painting is the marking of your progression into nature, a sensation of something you see way beyond the two pretty colors over there. Don't stop to paint the material, but push on to give the spirit.
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
When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing creature.
Robert Henri
Image
Life is finding yourself. It is a spirit development.
