Robert Henri Quotes

To paint is to know how to put nothing on canvas, and have it look like something when you stand back Picture Quote #1

The pictures which do not represent an intense interest cannot expect to create an intense interest Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The picture that looks as if it were done without an effort may have been a perfect battlefield in its making Picture Quote #1

The great painter has something to say. He does not paint men, landscapes, or furniture; but an idea Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The sketch hunter moves through life as he finds it, not passing negligently the things he loves, but stopping to know them, and to note them down in the shorthand of his sketchbook Picture Quote #1

An artist must first of all respond to his subject, he must be filled with emotion toward that subject and then he must make his technique so sincere, so translucent that it may be forgotten, the value of the subject shining through it Picture Quote #1

You form a society: that limits you. Adopt a name, and you’ve limited yourself again; draw up a constitution and bylaws and you’ve made a groove, a rut, that hampers your growth. You think you can fix your course and move straight along it. But sometimes the important thing is to strike out sidewise Picture Quote #1

The work of the art student is no light matter. Few have the courage and stamina to think it through. You have to make up your mind to be alone in many ways. We like sympathy and we like to be in company. It is easier than going it alone. But alone one gets acquainted with himself, grows up and on, not stopping with the crowd. It costs to do this. If you succeed somewhat you may have to pay for it as well as enjoy it all your life Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
