More quotes by Robert Henri
Cherish your own emotions and never undervalue them.
Robert Henri

Robert Henri
Knowledge of anatomy is a tool like good brushes.
Robert Henri
A picture should be the expression of the will of the painter.
Robert Henri
An artist must first of all respond to his subject, he must be filled with emotion toward that subject and then he must make his technique so sincere, so translucent that it may be forgotten, the value of the subject shining through it.
Robert Henri

Robert Henri
There is nothing in all the world more beautiful or significant of the laws of the universe than the nude human body.
Robert Henri
Be a warhorse for work and enjoy even the struggle against defeat.
Robert Henri
Lines are results, do not draw them for themselves.
Robert Henri
The fun of living is that we have to make ourselves, after all.
Robert Henri

Robert Henri
Keep a bad drawing until by study you have found out why it is bad.
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
The big painter is one who has something to say. He thus does not paint men, landscape or furniture, but an idea.
Robert Henri
Develop your visual memory. Draw everything you have drawn from the model from memory as well.
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
When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing creature.
Robert Henri
