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
If I could have had my own way, I would have confined myself to black and white.
Edgar Degas
Image
Once they witnessed one of his painting sold at auction for $100,000. And asked how you do it, he said, 'I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.'
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
I should like to be famous and unknown.
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
The secret is to follow the advice the masters give you in their works while doing something different from them.
Edgar Degas
Image
Art is vice. One does not wed it, one rapes it.
Edgar Degas
Image
I have been, or seemed, hard with everyone because I was carried away by a sort of brutality born of my distrust in myself and my ill-humor. I have felt so badly equipped, so soft, in spite of the fact that my attitude towards art seemed to me so just. I was disgusted with everyone, and especially myself.
Edgar Degas
Image
He once said that he wished to be famous, but unknown.
Edgar Degas
Image
Muses work all day long and then at night get together and dance.
Edgar Degas
Image
I would like to be famous but unknown.
Edgar Degas
Image
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
Edgar Degas
Image
What is certain is that setting a piece of nature in place and drawing it are two very different things.
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
Even in front of nature one must compose.
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
There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic.
Edgar Degas
Image
Art critic! Is that a profession? When I think we are stupid enough, we painters, to solicit those people's compliments and to put ourselves into their hands! What shame! Should we even accept that they talk about our work?
