More quotes by Edgar Degas
So that's the telephone? They ring, and you run.
Edgar Degas
What is certain is that setting a piece of nature in place and drawing it are two very different things.
Edgar Degas
There is love, and there is work and we have only one heart.
Edgar Degas
A picture is a thing which requires as much knavery, as much malice, and as much vice as the perpetration of a crime. Make it untrue and add an accent of truth.
Edgar Degas
Art is really a battle.
Edgar Degas
Make people's portraits in familiar and typical attitudes.
Edgar Degas
For those who don't know what they are doing, painting is easy. For those who do know what they are doing, painting is difficult.
Edgar Degas
One does not marry art. One ravishes it.
Edgar Degas
I would like to be famous but unknown.
Edgar Degas
It requires courage to make a frontal attack on nature through the broad planes and the large lines and it is cowardly to do it by the facets and details. It is a battle.
Edgar Degas
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
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.
Edgar Degas
He once said that he wished to be famous, but unknown.
Edgar Degas
An artist must approach his work in the spirit of the criminal about to commit a crime.
Edgar Degas
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
Edgar Degas
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
Truth is never ugly when one can find in it what one needs.
Edgar Degas
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
Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.
Edgar Degas
Drawing is not what you see but what you must make others see.
Edgar Degas
