The soul of man may reveal its mysteries through direct expression, simple speech, simple gesture, simple painting, just as the soul of the brook is expressed in full simplicity and economy.”
Robert Henri Quote: “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 Quote: “There is only one reason for art in America, and that is that the people of America learn the means of expressing themselves in their own time, and their own land.”
