I really have a lot of stuff in my head if only there were insurance companies for that as there are for so many things.
Edgar Degas
He once said that he wished 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
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
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
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
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 no such thing as Intelligence one has intelligence of this or that. One must have intelligence only for what one is doing.
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
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
The air we see in the paintings of the old masters is never the air we breathe.
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
The frame is the reward of the artist.
Edgar Degas
What is certain is that setting a piece of nature in place and drawing it are two very different things.
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
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
Be sure to give the same expression to a person's face that you give to his body.
Edgar Degas
The fascinating thing, is not to show the source of light, but the effect of light.
Edgar Degas
I'll buy a bottle for anyone who can tell me what makes a picture beautiful!
Edgar Degas
Even in front of nature one must compose.
Edgar Degas
