Robert Henri
Image
Knowledge of anatomy is a tool like good brushes.
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.

Image
Develop your visual memory. Draw everything you have drawn from the model from memory as well.
Robert Henri
Image
I paint for the sole purpose of magnifying the privilege of being alive.
