More quotes by Edgar Degas

Image
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
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
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
Image
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
Image
In painting you must give the idea of the true by means of the false.
Edgar Degas
Image
The frame is the reward of the artist.
Edgar Degas
Image
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
Image
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
Edgar Degas
Image
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.
Edgar Degas
Image
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
The secret is to follow the advice the masters give you in their works while doing something different from them.
Edgar Degas
Image
It requires courage to make a frontal attack on nature through the broad planes and the large lines and it is cowardly to do it by the facets and details. It is a battle.
Edgar Degas
Image
Women can never forgive me they hate me, they feel that I am disarming them. I show them without their coquetry.
Edgar Degas
Image
And even this heart of mine has something artificial. The dancers have sewn it into a bag of pink satin, pink satin slightly faded, like their dancing shoes.
Edgar Degas
Image
Truth is never ugly when one can find in it what one needs.
Edgar Degas
Image
One does not marry art. One ravishes it.
Edgar Degas
Image
The fascinating thing, is not to show the source of light, but the effect of light.
Edgar Degas
Image
I should like to be famous and unknown.
Edgar Degas
Image
Great patience is called for on the hard path that I have entered on.
