More quotes by 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
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
Count on big lines to express your ideas.
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
Do whatever you do intensely.
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
Drawing is not following a line on the model, it is drawing your sense of the thing.
Robert Henri
All real works of art look as though they were done in joy.
Robert Henri
Art need not be intended. It comes inevitably as the tree from the root, the branch from the trunk, the blossom from the twig. None of these forget the present in looking backward or forward. They are occupied wholly with the fulfillment of their own existence.
Robert Henri
Feel the dignity of a child. Do not feel superior to him, for you are not.
Robert Henri
You will never draw the sense of a thing unless you are feeling it at the time you work.
Robert Henri
Good composition is like a suspension bridge each line adds strength and takes none away... Making lines run into each other is not composition. There must be motive for the connection. Get the art of controlling the observer – that is composition.
Robert Henri
By my teaching I hope to inspire you to personal activity and to present your vision.
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
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
I am interested in art as a means of living a life not as a means of making a living.
Robert Henri
Completion does not depend on material representation. The work is done when that special thing has been said.
Robert Henri
If you work from memory, you are most likely to put in your real feeling.
Robert Henri
There are pictures that manifest education and there are pictures that manifest love.
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
