You pass people on the street, some are for you, some are not.
Robert Henri
The more simply you see, the more simply you will render. People see too much, scatteringly.
Robert Henri

Robert Henri
Work always as if you were a master, expect from yourself a masterpiece.
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
It is the common defect of modern art study. Too many students do not know why they draw.
Robert Henri
The reason for the survival of the award system is purely commercial.
Robert Henri
The true artist regards his work as a means of talking with men [and women], of saying his say to himself and to others. It is not a question of pay.
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
Get the few main lines and see what lines they call out.
