Art is vice. One does not wed it, one rapes it.
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
Taste! It doesn't exist. An artist makes beautiful things without being aware of it.
Edgar Degas
Image
What is certain is that setting a piece of nature in place and drawing it are two very different things.
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
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 frame is the reward of the artist.
Edgar Degas
Image
He once said that he wished to be famous, but unknown.
Edgar Degas
Image
A picture is an artificial work, outside nature. It calls for as much cunning as the commission of a crime.
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
Be sure to give the same expression to a person's face that you give to his body.
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
The fascinating thing, is not to show the source of light, but the effect of light.
Edgar Degas
Image
A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, and some fantasy. When you always make your meaning perfectly plain you end up boring people.
Edgar Degas
Image
An artist must approach his work in the spirit of the criminal about to commit a crime.
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
the moods of sadness that come over anyone who takes up art... these dismal moods have very little compensation.
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 feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.
