More quotes by Edgar Degas
I'll buy a bottle for anyone who can tell me what makes a picture beautiful!
Edgar Degas

Edgar Degas
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
Edgar Degas
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
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
