More quotes by 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
A picture is first of all a product of the artist's imagination, it must never be a copy.
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
Make portraits of people in typical, familiar poses, being sure above all to give their faces the same kind of expression as their bodies.
Edgar Degas
I should like to be famous and unknown.
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
Be sure to give the same expression to a person's face that you give to his body.
Edgar Degas
Art is really a battle.
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
the moods of sadness that come over anyone who takes up art... these dismal moods have very little compensation.
Edgar Degas
Taste! It doesn't exist. An artist makes beautiful things without being aware of it.
Edgar Degas
In painting you must give the idea of the true by means of the false.
Edgar Degas
Women can never forgive me they hate me, they feel that I am disarming them. I show them without their coquetry.
Edgar Degas
One must have a high opinion of a work of art - not the work one is creating at the moment, but of that which one desires to achieve one day. Without this it is not worthwhile working.
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
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
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
I'll buy a bottle for anyone who can tell me what makes a picture beautiful!
Edgar Degas
I have been, or seemed, hard with everyone because I was carried away by a sort of brutality born of my distrust in myself and my ill-humor. I have felt so badly equipped, so soft, in spite of the fact that my attitude towards art seemed to me so just. I was disgusted with everyone, and especially myself.
Edgar Degas
People call me the painter of dancing girls. It has never occurred to them that my chief interest in dancers lies in rendering movement and painting pretty clothes.
Edgar Degas
