More quotes by Edgar Degas
Be sure to give the same expression to a person's face that you give to his body.
Edgar Degas
Make people's portraits in familiar and typical attitudes.
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
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
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
Art is really a battle.
Edgar Degas
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.
Edgar Degas
Even in front of nature one must compose.
Edgar Degas
If I could have had my own way, I would have confined myself to black and white.
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
Women can never forgive me they hate me, they feel that I am disarming them. I show them without their coquetry.
Edgar Degas
It is all very well to copy what one sees, but it is far better to draw what one now only sees in one's memory. That is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory.
Edgar Degas
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
Edgar Degas
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
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
What a horrible thing yellow is.
Edgar Degas
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
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
I'll buy a bottle for anyone who can tell me what makes a picture beautiful!
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
