More quotes by 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
The fascinating thing, is not to show the source of light, but the effect of light.
Edgar Degas
The frame is the reward of the artist.
Edgar Degas
the moods of sadness that come over anyone who takes up art... these dismal moods have very little compensation.
Edgar Degas
Your pictures would have been finished a long time ago if I were not forced every day to do something to earn money.
Edgar Degas
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
Edgar Degas
The secret is to follow the advice the masters give you in their works while doing something different from them.
Edgar Degas
The museums are here to teach the history of art and something more as well, for, if they stimulate in the weak a desire to imitate, they furnish the strong with the means of their emancipation.
Edgar Degas
Be sure to give the same expression to a person's face that you give to his body.
Edgar Degas
I really have a lot of stuff in my head if only there were insurance companies for that as there are for so many things.
Edgar Degas
If I could have had my own way, I would have confined myself to black and white.
Edgar Degas
It requires courage to make a frontal attack on nature through the broad planes and the large lines and it is cowardly to do it by the facets and details. It is 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
Art is really a battle.
Edgar Degas
For those who don't know what they are doing, painting is easy. For those who do know what they are doing, painting is difficult.
Edgar Degas
There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic.
Edgar Degas
I'll buy a bottle for anyone who can tell me what makes a picture beautiful!
Edgar Degas
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Edgar Degas
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
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.
Edgar Degas
