Image
Count on big lines to express your ideas.
Robert Henri
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The world will see many fashions of art and most of the world will follow the fashions and make none. These cults - these 'movements' - are absolutely necessary, or at any rate their causes are, for somewhere in their centres are the ones who bear the Idea, the ones who have questioned, 'But what do I think?' and 'How shall I say it best?
Robert Henri

The fun of living is that we have to make ourselves, after all.
Robert Henri
Image
The model is not to be copied, but to be realized.
Robert Henri
Image
You will never draw the sense of a thing unless you are feeling it at the time you work.
Robert Henri
Image
The man who has honesty, integrity, the love of inquiry, the desire to see beyond, is ready to appreciate good art.
Robert Henri
Image
The reason for the survival of the award system is purely commercial.
Robert Henri
Image
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
Image
Art tends toward balance, order, judgment of relative values, the laws of growth, the economy of living – very good things for anyone to be interested in.
Robert Henri
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
After all, the goal is not making art. It is living a life. Those who live their lives will leave the stuff that is really art.
