More quotes by Robert Henri
The model is not to be copied, but to be realized.
Robert Henri
An artist must first of all respond to his subject, he must be filled with emotion toward that subject and then he must make his technique so sincere, so translucent that it may be forgotten, the value of the subject shining through it.
Robert Henri
Art cannot be separated from life. It is the expression of the greatest need of which life is capable, and we value art not because of the skilled product, but because of its revelation of a life's experience.
Robert Henri
Knowledge of anatomy is a tool like good brushes.
Robert Henri
If you work from memory, you are most likely to put in your real feeling.
Robert Henri
You pass people on the street, some are for you, some are not.
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
Self-acquainta nce is a rare condition.
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
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 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
Count on big lines to express your ideas.
Robert Henri
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
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
All real works of art look as though they were done in joy.
Robert Henri
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.
Robert Henri
The fun of living is that we have to make ourselves, after all.
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 artist should be intoxicated with the idea of the thing he wants to express.
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
