More quotes by 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

Robert Henri
The model is not to be copied, but to be realized.
Robert Henri
A weak background is a deadly thing.
Robert Henri

Robert Henri
Art is certainly not a pursuit for anyone who wants to make money.

By my teaching I hope to inspire you to personal activity and to present your vision.
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
Cherish your own emotions and never undervalue them.
Robert Henri

Robert Henri
If you work from memory, you are most likely to put in your real feeling.
Robert Henri
Good composition is like a suspension bridge - each line adds strength and takes none away.
Robert Henri
You can do anything you want to do. What is rare is this actual wanting to do a specific thing: wanting it so much that you are practically blind to all other things, that nothing else will satisfy you.
Robert Henri
Through art mysterious bonds of understanding and of knowledge are established among men.
Robert Henri
Do whatever you do intensely.
Robert Henri
There are pictures that manifest education and there are pictures that manifest love.
