Robert Henri
Image
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
Image
The big painter is one who has something to say. He thus does not paint men, landscape or furniture, but an idea.
Robert Henri
Image
The artist should be intoxicated with the idea of the thing he wants to express.
Robert Henri
Image
I have heard it very often said that an artist does not need intelligence, that his is the province of the soul
Robert Henri
Image
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
Image
In a tree there is a spirit of life, a spirit of growth and a spirit of holding its head up.
