What a horrible thing yellow is.
Edgar Degas

Edgar Degas
Image
He once said that he wished to be famous, but unknown.
Edgar Degas

Edgar Degas
Image
You must aim high, not in what you are going to do at some future date, but in what you are going to make yourself do to-day. Otherwise, working is just a waste of time.
Edgar Degas
Image
I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.
Edgar Degas
Image
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
Edgar Degas
Image
Muses work all day long and then at night get together and dance.
Edgar Degas
Image
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.
Edgar Degas
Image
One does not marry art. One ravishes it.
Edgar Degas
Image
Make people's portraits in familiar and typical attitudes.
