When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressive creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens, and opens ways for better understanding. Where those who are not artists are trying to close the book, he opens it and shows there are still more pages possible.
Robert HenriArtists must be men of wit, consciously or unconsciously philosophers; read, study and think a great deal of life.
Robert HenriWhat we need is more sense of the wonder of life and less of this business of making a picture.
