More quotes by Robert Henri

Robert Henri
The man who has honesty, integrity, the love of inquiry, the desire to see beyond, is ready to appreciate good art.
Robert Henri

Robert Henri
Do not expect pictures to say the expected some of the best will have surprises for you, which will, at first, shock you.
Robert Henri
Art need not be intended. It comes inevitably as the tree from the root, the branch from the trunk, the blossom from the twig. None of these forget the present in looking backward or forward. They are occupied wholly with the fulfillment of their own existence.
Robert Henri
Work always as if you were a master, expect from yourself a masterpiece.
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
A weak background is a deadly thing.
Robert Henri
Painting should never look as if it were done with difficulty, however difficult it may actually have been.
Robert Henri
