More quotes by 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
It's a wrong idea that a master is a finished person. Masters are very faulty they haven't learned everything and they know it.
Robert Henri
Genius is not a possession of the limited few, but exists in some degree in everyone. Where there is natural growth, a full and free play of faculties, genius will manifest itself.
Robert Henri
Art is certainly not a pursuit for anyone who wants to make money.
Robert Henri
Keep a bad drawing until by study you have found out why it is bad.
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 pass people on the street, some are for you, some are not.
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
The good thing about painting from memory is that so much is forgotten.
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
In a tree there is a spirit of life, a spirit of growth and a spirit of holding its head up.
Robert Henri
All manifestations of art are but landmarks in the progress of the human spirit toward a thing but as yet sensed and far from being possessed.
Robert Henri
It is harder to see than it is to express. The whole value of art rests in the artist's ability to see well into what is before him.
Robert Henri
What we need is more sense of the wonder of life and less of this business of making a picture.
Robert Henri
The more simply you see, the more simply you will render. People see too much, scatteringly.
Robert Henri
If you think of a school drawing while you work, your drawing will look like one.
Robert Henri
Each man must take the material that he finds at hand, see that in it there are the big truths of life, the fundamentally big forces, and then express in his art whatever is the cause of his pleasure.
Robert Henri
A picture should be the expression of the will of the painter.
Robert Henri
The reason for the survival of the award system is purely commercial.
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
