More quotes by 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
Your style is the way you talk in paint.
Robert Henri
Painting should never look as if it were done with difficulty, however difficult it may actually have been.
Robert Henri
I have heard it very often said that an artist does not need intelligence, that his is the province of the soul
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
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
Knowledge of anatomy is a tool like good brushes.
Robert Henri
You will never draw the sense of a thing unless you are feeling it at the time you work.
Robert Henri
The artist should have a powerful will. He should be powerfully possessed by one idea
Robert Henri
It seems to me that before a man tries to express anything to the world he must recognize in himself an individual, a new one, very distinct from others.
Robert Henri
Cherish your own emotions and never undervalue them.
Robert Henri
No work of Art is really ever finished. They only stop at good places.
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
By my teaching I hope to inspire you to personal activity and to present your vision.
Robert Henri
Students work in schools making life studies for years, win prizes for life studies and find in the end that they know practically nothing of the human figure. They have acquired the ability to copy.
Robert Henri
Strokes carry a message whether you will it or not. The stroke is just like the artist at the time he makes it. All the certainties, all the uncertainties, all the bigness of his spirit and the littlenesses are in it.
Robert Henri
The fun of living is that we have to make ourselves, after all.
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
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
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
