Do whatever you do intensely.
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
Know what the old masters did. Know how they composed their pictures, but do not fall into the conventions they established. These conventions were right for them, and they are wonderful. They made their language. You make yours. All the past can help you.
Robert Henri
Image
To be free, to be happy and to be fruitful, can only be attained through sacrifice of many common but overestimated things.
Robert Henri
Image
Good composition is like a suspension bridge - each line adds strength and takes none away.
Robert Henri
Image
The reason for the survival of the award system is purely commercial.
Robert Henri
Image
It's a wrong idea that a master is a finished person. Masters are very faulty they haven't learned everything and they know it.
Robert Henri
Image
Art is certainly not a pursuit for anyone who wants to make money.
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 fun of living is that we have to make ourselves, after all.
Robert Henri
Image
The artist should have a powerful will. He should be powerfully possessed by one idea

Image
Your style is the way you talk in paint.
Robert Henri
Image
Each man must take the material that he finds at hand, see that in it there are the big truths of life, the fundamentally big forces, and then express in his art whatever is the cause of his pleasure.
Robert Henri
Image
Artists must be men of wit, consciously or unconsciously philosophers read, study and think a great deal of life.
Robert Henri
Image
If a certain activity, such as painting, becomes the habitual mode of expression, it may follow that taking up the painting materials and beginning work with them will act suggestively and so presently evoke a flight into the higher state.
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
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
Self-acquainta nce is a rare condition.
Robert Henri
Image
Count on big lines to express your ideas.
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.
