More quotes by Robert Henri

Robert Henri

Robert Henri
Self-acquainta nce is a rare condition.
Robert Henri

Robert Henri
Do not let the fact that things are not made for you, that conditions are not as they should be stop you. Go on anyway. Everything depends on those who go on anyway.
Robert Henri
Drawing is not following a line on the model, it is drawing your sense of the thing.
Robert Henri
Get the few main lines and see what lines they call out.
Robert Henri
There are pictures that manifest education and there are pictures that manifest love.
Robert Henri
