What a horrible thing yellow is.
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
The frame is the reward of the artist.
Edgar Degas
Image
Taste! It doesn't exist. An artist makes beautiful things without being aware of it.
Edgar Degas
Image
We were created to look at one another, weren't we?
Edgar Degas
Image
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.
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
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
The fascinating thing, is not to show the source of light, but the effect of light.
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
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
Edgar Degas
Image
These women of mine are decent, simple human beings who have no other concern than that of their physical condition... it is as though one were watching through a keyhole.
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
You must aim high, not in what you are going to do at some future date, but in what you are going to make yourself do to-day. Otherwise, working is just a waste of time.
Edgar Degas
Image
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Edgar Degas
Image
Only two of my personalities are schizophrenic, but one of them is paranoid and the other one is out to get him. Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
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
He once said that he wished to be famous, but unknown.
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
A picture is first of all a product of the artist's imagination, it must never be a copy.
