Content:
This book holds the beliefs and theories of the great teacher and American artist, Robert Henri. While it covers Henri’s system of teaching, technical advice and critical commentary for the student, it also contains inspiration for those who know happiness to be found through all the arts.
“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 Henri
