More quotes by Edgar Degas
I'll buy a bottle for anyone who can tell me what makes a picture beautiful!
Edgar Degas
It is people's movement that consoles us. If the leaves of a tree did not move, how sad would be the tree - and so should we.
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
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
Art is vice. One does not wed it, one rapes it.
Edgar Degas
Make people's portraits in familiar and typical attitudes.
Edgar Degas
And even this heart of mine has something artificial. The dancers have sewn it into a bag of pink satin, pink satin slightly faded, like their dancing shoes.
Edgar Degas
There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic.
Edgar Degas
I would like to be famous but unknown.
Edgar Degas
You must aim high, not in what you are going to do at some future date, but in what you are going to make yourself do to-day. Otherwise, working is just a waste of time.
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
The museums are here to teach the history of art and something more as well, for, if they stimulate in the weak a desire to imitate, they furnish the strong with the means of their emancipation.
Edgar Degas
Taste! It doesn't exist. An artist makes beautiful things without being aware of it.
Edgar Degas
Realism is more important than the sentiment of the picture.
Edgar Degas
Art is vice. You don't marry it legitimately, you rape it.
Edgar Degas
The secret is to follow the advice the masters give you in their works while doing something different from them.
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
What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.
Edgar Degas
Make portraits of people in typical, familiar poses, being sure above all to give their faces the same kind of expression as their bodies.
