Robert Henri
Image
Your style is the way you talk in paint.
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
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
Image
There is nothing in all the world more beautiful or significant of the laws of the universe than the nude human body.
