Even in front of nature one must compose.
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
the moods of sadness that come over anyone who takes up art... these dismal moods have very little compensation.
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
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
One does not marry art. One ravishes it.
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
I would like to be famous but unknown.
Edgar Degas
Image
We were created to look at one another, weren't we?
Edgar Degas
Image
Drawing is not what you see but what you must make others see.
Edgar Degas
Image
Art is really a battle.
Edgar Degas
Image
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
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
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
You have to have a high conception, not of what you are doing, but of what you may do one day: without that, there's no point in working.
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 secret is to follow the advice the masters give you in their works while doing something different from them.
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
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
Edgar Degas
Image
If I could have had my own way, I would have confined myself to black and white.
