More quotes by Robert Henri
The big painter is one who has something to say. He thus does not paint men, landscape or furniture, but an idea.
Robert Henri
The pursuit of happiness is a great activity. One must be open and alive. It is the greatest feat man has to accomplish, and spirits must flow. There must be courage. There are no easy ruts to get into which lead to happiness. A man must become interesting to himself and must become actually expressive before he can be happy.
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
Art when really understood is the province of every human being. It is simply a question of doing things, anything, well. It is not an outside, extra thing.
Robert Henri
Art tends toward balance, order, judgment of relative values, the laws of growth, the economy of living – very good things for anyone to be interested in.
Robert Henri
Manet did not do the expected. He was a pioneer. He followed his individual whim. Told the public what he wanted it to know, not the time worn things the public already knew and thought it wanted to hear again. The public was very much offended.
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
Art is, after all, only a trace – like a footprint which shows that one has walked bravely and in great happiness.
Robert Henri
If you think of a school drawing while you work, your drawing will look like one.
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
Don't worry about the rejections. Everybody that's good has gone through it. Don't let it matter if your works are not accepted at once. The better or more personal you are the less likely they are of acceptance.
Robert Henri
You pass people on the street, some are for you, some are not.
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
Each man must take the material that he finds at hand, see that in it there are the big truths of life, the fundamentally big forces, and then express in his art whatever is the cause of his pleasure.
Robert Henri
There are pictures that manifest education and there are pictures that manifest love.
Robert Henri
I am interested in art as a means of living a life not as a means of making a living.
Robert Henri
Develop your visual memory. Draw everything you have drawn from the model from memory as well.
Robert Henri
Keep a bad drawing until by study you have found out why it is bad.
Robert Henri
Your painting is the marking of your progression into nature, a sensation of something you see way beyond the two pretty colors over there. Don't stop to paint the material, but push on to give the spirit.
Robert Henri
To be free, to be happy and to be fruitful, can only be attained through sacrifice of many common but overestimated things.
Robert Henri
