More quotes by Robert Henri
All real works of art look as though they were done in joy.
Robert Henri
You will never draw the sense of a thing unless you are feeling it at the time you work.
Robert Henri
You pass people on the street, some are for you, some are not.
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
Cherish your own emotions and never undervalue them.
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
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
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
What we need is more sense of the wonder of life and less of this business of making a picture.
Robert Henri
Art is, after all, only a trace – like a footprint which shows that one has walked bravely and in great happiness.
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 whatever you do intensely.
Robert Henri
Good composition is like a suspension bridge - each line adds strength and takes none away.
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
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
Pretend you are dancing or singing a picture. A worker or painter should enjoy his work, else the observer will not enjoy 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
Each sensation is precious, protect it, cherish it, keep it. Never give it away. You must develop that balance which allows all of the world to come in to you, and only that which you have expressed in your art to move back out again into the world.
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
No work of Art is really ever finished. They only stop at good places.
