More quotes by Edgar Degas
Great patience is called for on the hard path that I have entered on.
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
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
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
Edgar Degas
I should like to be famous and unknown.
Edgar Degas
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
the moods of sadness that come over anyone who takes up art... these dismal moods have very little compensation.
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
Once they witnessed one of his painting sold at auction for $100,000. And asked how you do it, he said, 'I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.'
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
He once said that he wished to be famous, but unknown.
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
Women can never forgive me they hate me, they feel that I am disarming them. I show them without their coquetry.
Edgar Degas
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
Edgar Degas
Even in front of nature one must compose.
Edgar Degas
An artist must approach his work in the spirit of the criminal about to commit a crime.
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
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Edgar Degas
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
Edgar Degas
Art is really a battle.
Edgar Degas
