A picture is a thing which requires as much knavery, as much malice, and as much vice as the perpetration of a crime. Make it untrue and add an accent of truth.
Edgar Degas
Image
And even this heart of mine has something artificial. The dancers have sewn it into a bag of pink satin, pink satin slightly faded, like their dancing shoes.
Edgar Degas
Image
There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic.
Edgar Degas
Image
A picture is first of all a product of the artist's imagination, it must never be a copy.
