An artist is an explorer (Henri Matisse Quotes)
He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free and nothing holds him back (Henri Matisse Quotes)
Whoever wishes to devote himself to painting should begin by cutting out his own tongue (Henri Matisse Quotes)
... for whether we want to or not, we belong to our time and we share in its opinions, its feelings, even its delusions (Henri Matisse Quotes)
To look at something as though we had never seen it before requires great courage (Henri Matisse Quotes)
It is not enough to place colors, however beautiful, one beside the other; colors must also react on one another. Otherwise, you have cacophony (Henri Matisse Quotes)
Color helps to express light, not the physical phenomenon, but the only light that really exists, that in the artist’s brain (Henri Matisse Quotes)
Art should be something like a good armchair in which to rest from physical fatigue (Henri Matisse Quotes)
What interests me most is neither still life nor landscape: it is the human figure (Henri Matisse Quotes)
Seek the strongest color effect possible... the content is of no importance (Henri Matisse Quotes)
The importance of an artist is to be measured by the quantity of new signs which he has introduced to the language of art (Henri Matisse Quotes)
My pictures are made up of four or five colors that collide with one another… (Henri Matisse Quotes)
The use of expressive colors is felt to be one of the basic elements of the modern mentality, an historical necessity, beyond choice (Henri Matisse Quotes)
Drawing is of the spirit; color is of the senses (Henri Matisse Quotes)
The portrait is one of the most curious art forms. It demands special qualities in the artist, and an almost total kinship with the model (Henri Matisse Quotes)
Creative people are curious, flexible, persistent, and independent with a tremendous spirit of adventure and a love of play (Henri Matisse Quotes)
The simplest means are those which best enable an artist to express himself. His means of expression must derive almost all of neccessity from his temperament (Henri Matisse Quotes)
There must result a living harmony of colours, a harmony analogous to that of a musical composition (Henri Matisse Quotes)
Composition is the art of arranging in a decorative manner the diverse elements at the painter’s command to express his feelings (Henri Matisse Quotes)
My choice of colours does not rest on any scientific theory: it is based on observation, on sensitivity, on felt experience (Henri Matisse Quotes)
I would like to recapture that freshness of vision which is characteristic of extreme youth when all the world is new to it (Henri Matisse Quotes)
Instinct must be thwarted just as one prunes the branches of a tree so that it will grow better (Henri Matisse Quotes)
In the beginning you must subject yourself to the influence of nature. You must be able to walk firmly on the ground before you start walking on a tightrope (Henri Matisse Quotes)
All that is not useful in a picture is detrimental. A work of art must be harmonious in its entirety; for superfluous details would, in the mind of the beholder, encroach upon the essential elements (Henri Matisse Quotes)
The sign for which I forge an image has no value if it doesn’t harmonize with other signs, which I must determine in the course of my invention and which are completely peculiar to it (Henri Matisse Quotes)
Composition is the art of arranging in a decorative manner the various elements which the painter uses to express his sentiments. In a picture every separate part will be visible and... everything which has no utility in the picture is for that reason harmful (Henri Matisse Quotes)
Composition, the aim of which is expression, alters itself according to the surface to be covered. If I take a sheet of paper of given dimensions, I will jot down a drawing which will have a necessary relation to its format (Henri Matisse Quotes)
Fit the parts together, one into the other, and build your figure like a carpenter builds a house. Everything must be constructed, composed of parts that make a whole (Henri Matisse Quotes)
Expression is not a matter of passion mirrored on the human face or revealed by a violent gesture. When I paint a picture, its every detail is expressive (Henri Matisse Quotes)
When I started to paint I felt transported into a kind of paradise... In everyday life I was usually bored and vexed... Starting to paint I felt gloriously free (Henri Matisse Quotes)
