More quotes by Robert Henri
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
The model is not to be copied, but to be realized.
Robert Henri
Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.
Robert Henri
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
There is nothing in all the world more beautiful or significant of the laws of the universe than the nude human body.
Robert Henri
Art is certainly not a pursuit for anyone who wants to make money.
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
It is the common defect of modern art study. Too many students do not know why they draw.
Robert Henri
The more simply you see, the more simply you will render. People see too much, scatteringly.
Robert Henri
Beauty is no material thing. Beauty cannot be copied. Beauty is the sensation of pleasure on the mind of the seer. No thing is beautiful. But all things await the sensitive and imaginative mind that may be aroused to pleasurable emotion at sight of them. This is beauty.
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
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
I paint for the sole purpose of magnifying the privilege of being alive.
Robert Henri
The true artist regards his work as a means of talking with men [and women], of saying his say to himself and to others. It is not a question of pay.
Robert Henri
It seems to me that before a man tries to express anything to the world he must recognize in himself an individual, a new one, very distinct from others.
Robert Henri
In a tree there is a spirit of life, a spirit of growth and a spirit of holding its head up.
Robert Henri
Students work in schools making life studies for years, win prizes for life studies and find in the end that they know practically nothing of the human figure. They have acquired the ability to copy.
Robert Henri
Artists must be men of wit, consciously or unconsciously philosophers read, study and think a great deal of life.
Robert Henri
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
All real works of art look as though they were done in joy.
Robert Henri
