Edgar Degas
The secret is to follow the advice the masters give you in their works while doing something different from them.
Edgar Degas
Art is really a battle.
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
What a horrible thing yellow is.
Edgar Degas
