Edgar Degas
Even in front of nature one must compose.
Edgar Degas
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

A picture is first of all a product of the artist's imagination, it must never be a copy.
Edgar Degas
There is no such thing as Intelligence one has intelligence of this or that. One must have intelligence only for what one is doing.
Edgar Degas
Art critic! Is that a profession? When I think we are stupid enough, we painters, to solicit those people's compliments and to put ourselves into their hands! What shame! Should we even accept that they talk about our work?
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
The fascinating thing, is not to show the source of light, but the effect of light.
Edgar Degas
Art' is the same word as 'artifice,' that is to say, something deceitful. It must succeed in giving the impression of nature by false means.
Edgar Degas
I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.
Edgar Degas
You have to have a high conception, not of what you are doing, but of what you may do one day: without that, there's no point in working.
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
It seems to me that today if the artist wishes to be serious... he must once more sink himself in solitude.
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
There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic.
Edgar Degas
He once said that he wished to be famous, but unknown.
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.'
