The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
Edgar Degas
Image
Make portraits of people in typical, familiar poses, being sure above all to give their faces the same kind of expression as their bodies.
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

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
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
