“Cherish your own emotions and never under-value them.

We are not here to do what has already been done.”
― Robert Henri, The Art Spirit

“A GREAT PAINTER will know a great deal about how he did it, but still he will say, “How did I do it?” The real artist’s work is a surprise to himself.”
― Robert Henri, The Art Spirit

“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, The Art Spirit

“What we need is more sense of the wonder of life and less of this business of making a picture.”
― Robert Henri, The Art Spirit
