Robert Henri Lines Quotations

Good composition is like a suspension bridge - each line adds strength and takes none away.

Get the few main lines and see what lines they call out.

Count on big lines to express your ideas.

Concentrate on a single feature - as, build all toward one eye - make all lines lead toward that eye.

A Curve does not exist in its full power until contrasted with a straight line.

Lines are results, do not draw them for themselves.

Drawing is not following a line on the model, it is drawing your sense of the thing.
