More quotes by Edgar Degas
So that's the telephone? They ring, and you run.
Edgar Degas
If I could have had my own way, I would have confined myself to black and white.
Edgar Degas
Hitherto the nude has always been represented in poses which presuppose an audience. But my women are simple, honest creatures who are concerned with nothing beyond their physical occupations... it is as if you were looking through a keyhole.
Edgar Degas
Art is vice. One does not wed it, one rapes it.
Edgar Degas
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
Edgar Degas
A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, and some fantasy. When you always make your meaning perfectly plain you end up boring people.
Edgar Degas
The fascinating thing, is not to show the source of light, but the effect of light.
Edgar Degas
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
Only two of my personalities are schizophrenic, but one of them is paranoid and the other one is out to get him. Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Edgar Degas
Truth is never ugly when one can find in it what one needs.
Edgar Degas
I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.
Edgar Degas
The frame is the reward of the artist.
Edgar Degas
Taste! It doesn't exist. An artist makes beautiful things without being aware of it.
Edgar Degas
It seems to me that today if the artist wishes to be serious... he must once more sink himself in solitude.
Edgar Degas
There is too much talk and gossip pictures are apparently made, like stock-market prices, by competition of people eager for profits... All this traffic sharpens our intelligence and falsifies our judgment.
Edgar Degas
What is certain is that setting a piece of nature in place and drawing it are two very different things.
Edgar Degas
These women of mine are decent, simple human beings who have no other concern than that of their physical condition... it is as though one were watching through a keyhole.
Edgar Degas
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
It is people's movement that consoles us. If the leaves of a tree did not move, how sad would be the tree - and so should we.
Edgar Degas
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Edgar Degas
