Art cannot be separated from life. It is the expression of the greatest need of which life is capable, and we value art not because of the skilled product, but because of its revelation of a life's experience.

More quotes by Robert Henri

Robert Henri

Robert Henri
Today must not be a souvenir of yesterday, and so the struggle is everlasting. Who am I today? What do I see today? How shall I use what I know, and how shall I avoid being victim of what I know? Life is not repetition.
Robert Henri
Do whatever you do intensely.
Robert Henri

Robert Henri
Lines are results, do not draw them for themselves.
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
The more simply you see, the more simply you will render. People see too much, scatteringly.
Robert Henri
Be a warhorse for work and enjoy even the struggle against defeat.
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
Cherish your own emotions and never undervalue them.
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
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
