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.

More quotes by 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
Count on big lines to express your ideas.
Robert Henri
Don't worry about your originality. You couldn't get rid of it even if you wanted to. It will stick with you and show up for better or worse in spite of all you or anyone else can do.
Robert Henri
Work always as if you were a master, expect from yourself a masterpiece.
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
Art is certainly not a pursuit for anyone who wants to make money.
Robert Henri
Be a warhorse for work and enjoy even the struggle against defeat.
Robert Henri
Beauty is an intangible thing can not be fixed on the surface, and the wear and tear of old age on the body cannot defeat it. Nor will a pretty face make it, for pretty faces are often dull and empty, and beauty is never dull and it fills all spaces.
Robert Henri
To be free, to be happy and to be fruitful, can only be attained through sacrifice of many common but overestimated things.
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
The model is not to be copied, but to be realized.
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
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
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
The pursuit of happiness is a great activity. One must be open and alive. It is the greatest feat man has to accomplish, and spirits must flow. There must be courage. There are no easy ruts to get into which lead to happiness. A man must become interesting to himself and must become actually expressive before he can be happy.
Robert Henri
Drawing is not following a line on the model, it is drawing your sense of the thing.
Robert Henri
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.
Robert Henri
A picture should be the expression of the will of the painter.
Robert Henri
Cherish your own emotions and never undervalue them.
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.
Robert Henri
