More quotes by Edgar Degas
Women can never forgive me they hate me, they feel that I am disarming them. I show them without their coquetry.
Edgar Degas
There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic.
Edgar Degas
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?
Edgar Degas
In painting you must give the idea of the true by means of the false.
Edgar Degas
The fascinating thing, is not to show the source of light, but the effect of light.
Edgar Degas
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
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.
Edgar Degas
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
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
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 the same word as 'artifice,' that is to say, something deceitful. It must succeed in giving the impression of nature by false means.
Edgar Degas
I feel as a horse must feel when the beautiful cup is given to the jockey.
Edgar Degas
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
Be sure to give the same expression to a person's face that you give to his body.
Edgar Degas
So that's the telephone? They ring, and you run.
Edgar Degas
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
Edgar Degas
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
Edgar Degas
If I could have had my own way, I would have confined myself to black and white.
Edgar Degas
Art is really a battle.
Edgar Degas
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
