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
We were created to look at one another, weren't we?
Edgar Degas
Image
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
The secret is to follow the advice the masters give you in their works while doing something different from them.
Edgar Degas
Image
An artist must approach his work in the spirit of the criminal about to commit a crime.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
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
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
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
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
Edgar Degas
Image
I should like to be famous and unknown.
Edgar Degas
Image
He once said that he wished to be famous, but unknown.
Edgar Degas
Image
Even in front of nature one must compose.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.
Edgar Degas
Image
Drawing is not what you see but what you must make others see.
Edgar Degas
Image
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
Image
Truth is never ugly when one can find in it what one needs.
Edgar Degas
Image
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
