More quotes by Robert Henri
Work always as if you were a master, expect from yourself a masterpiece.
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
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
If you think of a school drawing while you work, your drawing will look like one.
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

Robert Henri
Art is certainly not a pursuit for anyone who wants to make money.
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
There is only one reason for art in America, and that is that the people of America learn the means of expressing themselves in their own time, and their own land.
Robert Henri
Do not expect pictures to say the expected some of the best will have surprises for you, which will, at first, shock you.
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
Drawing is not following a line on the model, it is drawing your sense of the thing.
Robert Henri
Do not worry about your originality. You could not get rid of it even if you wanted to.
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
