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
Your pictures would have been finished a long time ago if I were not forced every day to do something to earn money.
Edgar Degas
Image
I would like to be famous but unknown.
Edgar Degas
Image
The frame is the reward of the artist.
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
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
