More quotes by Robert Henri
Life is finding yourself. It is a spirit development.
Robert Henri
Knowledge of anatomy is a tool like good brushes.
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
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
In a tree there is a spirit of life, a spirit of growth and a spirit of holding its head up.
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
Be a warhorse for work and enjoy even the struggle against defeat.
Robert Henri
Do whatever you do intensely.
Robert Henri
It is the common defect of modern art study. Too many students do not know why they draw.
Robert Henri
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.
Robert Henri
Pretend you are dancing or singing a picture.
Robert Henri
Each sensation is precious, protect it, cherish it, keep it. Never give it away. You must develop that balance which allows all of the world to come in to you, and only that which you have expressed in your art to move back out again into the world.
Robert Henri
Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.
Robert Henri
You pass people on the street, some are for you, some are not.
Robert Henri
Develop your visual memory. Draw everything you have drawn from the model from memory as well.
Robert Henri
Drawing is not following a line on the model, it is drawing your sense of the thing.
Robert Henri
The pernicious influence of the prize and medal giving in art is so great that it should be stopped. History proves that juries in art have been generally wrong.
Robert Henri
Beauty is no material thing. Beauty cannot be copied. Beauty is the sensation of pleasure on the mind of the seer. No thing is beautiful. But all things await the sensitive and imaginative mind that may be aroused to pleasurable emotion at sight of them. This is beauty.
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
Manet did not do the expected. He was a pioneer. He followed his individual whim. Told the public what he wanted it to know, not the time worn things the public already knew and thought it wanted to hear again. The public was very much offended.
Robert Henri
