Image
A picture is an artificial work, outside nature. It calls for as much cunning as the commission of a crime.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
Image
Muses work all day long and then at night get together and dance.
Edgar Degas
Image
One does not marry art. One ravishes it.
Edgar Degas
Image
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.
Edgar Degas
Image
Taste! It doesn't exist. An artist makes beautiful things without being aware of it.
Edgar Degas
Image
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
Even in front of nature one must compose.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
Art is really a battle.
Edgar Degas
Image
I should like to be famous and unknown.
Edgar Degas
Image
Drawing is not what you see but what you must make others see.
Edgar Degas
Image
No art is less spontaneous than mine. What I do is the result of reflection and the study of the great masters.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
A picture is first of all a product of the artist's imagination, it must never be a copy.
Edgar Degas
Image
It is people's movement that consoles us. If the leaves of a tree did not move, how sad would be the tree - and so should we.
Edgar Degas
Image
Be sure to give the same expression to a person's face that you give to his body.
