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
The frame is the reward of the artist.
Edgar Degas

An artist must approach his work in the spirit of the criminal about to commit a crime.
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
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.
