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.

More quotes by Robert Henri
Drawing is not following a line on the model, it is drawing your sense of the thing.
Robert Henri
Strokes carry a message whether you will it or not. The stroke is just like the artist at the time he makes it. All the certainties, all the uncertainties, all the bigness of his spirit and the littlenesses are in it.
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
Count on big lines to express your ideas.
Robert Henri
The artist should be intoxicated with the idea of the thing he wants to express.
Robert Henri
Through art mysterious bonds of understanding and of knowledge are established among men.
Robert Henri
It is the common defect of modern art study. Too many students do not know why they draw.
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
If you think of a school drawing while you work, your drawing will look like one.
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
The more simply you see, the more simply you will render. People see too much, scatteringly.
Robert Henri
There are pictures that manifest education and there are pictures that manifest love.
Robert Henri
Artists must be men of wit, consciously or unconsciously philosophers read, study and think a great deal of life.
Robert Henri
Feel the dignity of a child. Do not feel superior to him, for you are not.
Robert Henri
Art is certainly not a pursuit for anyone who wants to make money.
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
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
All real works of art look as though they were done in joy.
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
Do whatever you do intensely. The artist is the man who leaves the crowd and goes pioneering. With him there is an idea which is his life.
