More quotes by Robert Henri
I paint for the sole purpose of magnifying the privilege of being alive.
Robert Henri
Through art mysterious bonds of understanding and of knowledge are established among men.
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
Self-acquainta nce is a rare condition.
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
Do whatever you do intensely. The artist is the man who leaves the crowd and goes pioneering. With him there is an idea which is his life.
Robert Henri
You can do anything you want to do. What is rare is this actual wanting to do a specific thing: wanting it so much that you are practically blind to all other things, that nothing else will satisfy you.
Robert Henri
Don't worry about your originality. You couldn't get rid of it even if you wanted to. It will stick with you and show up for better or worse in spite of all you or anyone else can do.
Robert Henri

Robert Henri
No work of Art is really ever finished. They only stop at good places.
Robert Henri
The sketch hunter moves through life as he finds it, not passing negligently the things he loves, but stopping to know them, and to note them down in the shorthand of his sketchbook.
Robert Henri
Artists must be men of wit, consciously or unconsciously philosophers read, study and think a great deal of life.
Robert Henri
All manifestations of art are but landmarks in the progress of the human spirit toward a thing but as yet sensed and far from being possessed.
Robert Henri
Keep a bad drawing until by study you have found out why it is bad.
Robert Henri
Develop your visual memory. Draw everything you have drawn from the model from memory as well.
Robert Henri
The more simply you see, the more simply you will render. People see too much, scatteringly.
Robert Henri
Do not let the fact that things are not made for you, that conditions are not as they should be stop you. Go on anyway. Everything depends on those who go on anyway.
Robert Henri
A picture should be the expression of the will of the painter.
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
The man who has honesty, integrity, the love of inquiry, the desire to see beyond, is ready to appreciate good art.
Robert Henri
